How to Paint Fabric Upholstery with Chalk Paint
Painting fabric upholstery with chalk paint can help you revamp an old chair, bench, or sofa so it looks like new. Painting fabric upholstery is manageable with the right supplies and techniques, so get upholstering and transform your furniture!
Steps
- Prepare your supplies and the surface of the upholstery. Choose your chalk paint, and gather a stiff paint brush, sandpaper, primer, paint roller, and foam brush.
- Remove the fabric from the furniture if possible. This will yield to a more even coat, since the fabric does not need to be taut.
- Sand the surface. This will help the new paint adhere to the surface. When done, use a sponge with a small amount of the primer to take care of any holes or seams.
- Roll on the paint. This method is faster and will keep the color consistent throughout the job. Allow the first coat to dry.
- Repeat with the foam brush. This will help you prevent runs and puddles. It is important to adjust the amount of pressure and texture with your brush.
- Allow the primer and paint to dry before re-applying the fabric. Once the fabric is attached, your upholstery will be ready to use.
Painting upholstery with chalk paint can be an easy and effective way to get a fresh new look for your furniture. Take your time and with the proper preparation, you can paint fabric upholstery with ease!
