    How do you go about painting upholstered furniture? Today I’m going to show you how to paint upholstery on a  wing back chair with a Finish Max Paint Sprayer.

    When I got home from Haven, this cane wing back chair was at a yard sale across the street for $5. I knew it was the perfect guinea pig project for me to try my hand at painting fabric furniture.

     

     

    chair-beforeAll of the fabric had seen better days, but the chair was mostly structurally sound. I did have to glue and clamp one of the legs, and staple the lining, but other than that all it needed was some TLC (paint).

    finish-max-homerightThis HomeRight Finish Max is my secret weapon for easy makeovers. I knew the fabric would be a challenge to paint, as would that cane on the sides of the chair.

     Painting Upholstered Furniture

    finish-max-painted-chairTo get started I used one of my extra Finish Max cups to spray the chair lightly with water. I’ve seen a lot of fabric furniture painted, and that seems to be one of the major tips….dampen the fabric first. Since I don’t own a water bottle sprayer, I let the Finish Max handle this job. This shot is after dampening the chair, and spraying one light coat over the entire piece with the Finish Max.

     

    painting-fabric-chairAfter two light coats of DIY Chalk Paint on everything, I switched to a chip brush for another (heavy) coat of paint on the fabric back and sides of the seat. You can see the difference in this photo.

     

    padded-chair-armrestUpon closer inspection I see that the padded armrests are not going to look very nice.

     

    padding-removed-chair-armrestI spent almost 2 hours removing the bazillion staples and tacks from just ONE armrest. You can see that I needed to touch-up the chair after that.

     

     

    painted-fabric-chair-covered-seatAt this point, I knew I wasn’t going to be using the seat “as is” so I checked to see how this fabric looked. I loved it!

     

    painted-chairI removed the other armrest padding, used some spackling to do a little patching on all the staple holes,  and did a final coat of paint in the spray booth with the Finish Max and some Behr Premium Plus Ultra in white semi-gloss.

     

    My-Repurposed-Life-painting-fabric-before-afterAmazing? I think so! I’m not the first to paint a fabric chair, but I’ve never seen anyone do it with a Finish Max before!

     

    painted-fabric-chairHere she is now! I employed my neighbor to recover the cushion for me because I didn’t want to drag the sewing machine out of the basement. Smile

     

    paint-upholstery-wing-back-chair


      Have you ever thought about painting upholstered furniture? I’m glad I finally got it out of my system. Given the chance, I would definitely do it again!

    UPDATED to ADD:  Many of you have asked how it feels. It sort of feels like faux leather or vinyl. How it will wear? I'm not sure. Since the seat was reupholstered, I think the back will hold up fine. If I had room for it in my house, I'd give it a run for it's money. I found a great post from 11 Magnolia Lane, about how her fabric painted chair is doing 7 months later.

      Hi Gail, I'm an artist in Philly working in mixed media. I have a project idea where I want to paint a London Fog type raincoat with a high gloss paint. I have no experience applying paint on fabric and via Google, I discovered your blog. Great content!!

      I would really appreciate any guidance you can provide as assuming success with the raincoat project, I intend to create a series of works using varied articles of clothing painted in vivid glossy colors. Thank you in advance. David.

        I have never experienced that happening with chalk paint Cori. 99% of my projects are done with diy chalky paint primer (made with plaster of paris) then a topcoat of the same paint without plaster of paris. Have you tried that method? Works like a charm, no waxing or buffing.

      I have a Finish Max and I can't make it work! What am I doing wrong? All the painting bloggers seem to love them, so I bought one and it worked great for 1 cup of paint. When I refilled the cup - it quit putting out paint (it will spray out water like nobody's business). I even thinned the paint down even more and it worked for a few minutes, then quit. HELP!

        Esther,

        I'm here to help in any way I can! I want you to love your Finish Max as much as I do. I've been using mine all day long, painting chair projects, chalkboards, headboard sign and more!

        Did you:
        Strain your paint
        Remove your brass nozzle to clean it and make sure it's not clogged? (on lump can totally clog it up)
        Overfill your paint cup? (There needs to be room in the cup for air to move.
        Accidentally tip your sprayer over (allowing excess paint to get the top base filled with paint--where the pickup tube inserts)

        I would suggest taking it apart, cleaning it thoroughly (including the brass nozzle) and trying again. If you strain your paint, dilute it to the consistency of buttermilk??? (I usually tell people, if paint runs, it's too thin, if it won't spray, it's too thick)

        Here are a couple of articles to help you out.

I could turn over furniture so much quicker and I would definitely buy pieces that I have passed over in the past because they are to time consuming to paint. My Facebook page is rusty star primitives. Check out my painted pieces. Hope I win! 🙂

      When we were living in Hawaii, I had a lovely little loveseat that made into a double bed. It was upholstered in a wonderful 100% heavy linen fabric, but it was a ghastly grandma print. I wanted to put it on the lanai for seating and for sleeping outdoors. I had painted the entire inside of the house (terrible dark fake paneling) with a luscious seabluegreengrey exterior latex, so that the ocean came right into the house. I had some left over, so painted the entire loveseat with it. Three coats with a fat brush. It would have been MUCH easier to do the entire house and the loveseat with a FinishMax!! It turned out a bit like naugahyde, and squeaked when you slid onto it, but it was beautiful, smooth, comfy, and extremely sturdy. The fabric gave a little because of the latex, and it was weatherproof. A total win-win. Now, I see projects all over my house & deck that would benefit from a little FinshMax TLC!!!

      Hello, I saw someone else online use the HomeRight sprayer to paint their outdoor furniture cushions and the fact that the paint gives it that added vinyl feel would be a plus for outdoor furniture cushions. I have 6 full chair cushions that are in need. They are all faded but in otherwise pretty good condition. I thought of covering them with fabric but painting them would be so much easier. So that is the project I would tackle first with the HomeRight sprayer. Thanks for a great giveaway!

      This technique looks like a good option for a couple of chairs that need to be "modernized" so that my son will accept them for his first apartment. He has champagne tastes on a beer budget and needs to learn that he doesn't always need new or expensive that sometimes you getter better by refurbishing the old.

      We are getting ready to do a multi-state move and to save money, we are not taking very much furniture with us. In fact, we are only taking the sectional couch, our bed and one bookshelf. After we move, I will be spending a lot of time buying used pieces to paint to my liking. A paint sprayer would be a life-saver and the projects could get done so much faster and better than hand painting. I would happily make room on the moving truck for the HomeRight Finish Max box.

      Great tips on painting the fabric. I've noticed that people are starting to do this but it makes me a little nervous... How does the painted fabric feel? Is it hard? Do you get any type of residue after sitting on it for a while? These are the questions that keep popping up when I see painted fabric.

      I really want to paint a vintage dresser that I have. I have always seen it's character and potential, even though my husband just doesn't get it 😉 I currently use it in my bedroom, even though its original finish isn't perfect, but with a little paint I will be able to give it a new life!

      I am just finishing up hand painting a dresser. I still have to prime and paint the matching night stand for my "baby" who is almost 18 month old... at some point I'll finish her nursery. It would be much easier with a FinishMax Paint Sprayer!!

      Our neighbors recently gave us a few 'vintage' bookshelves that didn't sell at a yard sale. And by vintage, I mean straight outta the 80s bleached oak veneer complete with smoked glass doors. If they are to stay in the house a coat of paint is a must, and then I'll try to figure out what to do about that glass.....

      I was given a chest of drawers that I want to replace the spindly legs with shorter chunky legs, remove the top two drawers, and paint for my daughter and son-in-law to use for their TV. This will be a 1st Anniversary gift for them. Right now they are using a metal and glass "thing" that is not in keeping with their decor.

      Do you know how this paint wears with time? Will it flake off after too many bodies rubbing on it? I normally use acrylic paint for fabric as it's very resilient, but even over time on furniture it will start wearing off (and then looks like worn leather). I'm not aware of latex paints that don't flake or peel immediately so this would be good to know. Thanks! Lovely chair!

Because brushing never gives you the same outcome that spraying does. There is just this amazing slick look to a sprayed paint job. And that's how I want my projects to look. So I can post my pictures of my awesome projects.

      I would love to redo a bench in my bedroom. The current fabric has a few stains and painting sound like what it needs.

      I did this same technique to two chairs...one for me and one for my daughter. Though I sanded between coats. Wonder if this sprayer allowed you to not have to do this to get a smoother finish. Looks so nice.

      I would finally paint the dining table and 6 chairs that have been waiting for a makeover for almost 2 years!

      I have been sitting on (pun intended) a 70's arm chair that I picked up at a thrift store. I love the lines, but paint would make her perfect!

      I have a similar chair with caning that I KNOW needs to be sprayed rather than brushed! The Homeright Finish Max is EXACTLY what I need!

      I don't have anything at the moment, but I will be searching yard sales for the perfect piece. Love the look of the painted fabric.

      I love your site. You have inspired me so much. I bought an old kitchen cabinet and am converting to a smaller open face shelf that I would like to paint.

      We just purchased our first home so I have begun collecting pieces! I have a chair I want to paint, a cool side table I want to redo and two stools I'm wanting to turn into bedside tables for my girls! Fingers crossed!!

      I would love to paint this ottoman that I sit on to dress. I use a towel right now, and that doesn't do a thing for the room decor-wise! thank you for the opportunity to win!
