Rust-Oleum Outdoor Fabric Spray Paint, 12 oz, Graphite

The Rust-Oleum Fabric Paint did its jo just fine. My 9-foot umbrella is over 9 years old and faded from bright Red to pink. I used 2 cans of paint, one for each layer. I also added a “trigger grip” to the Rust-Oleum can and the job went easily and took a little over 2 hours, spraying two layers and waiting about an hour between sprays. The color, Chili Red is more Orange than red, but looks good with red brick. (See my photos). There was no clogging up of the paint spray as some reviewers stated, and the hand trigger is a “must” for every painter! Little pricey, but hopefully will be worth it. The umbrella feels and looks like new!! Highly recommend!!

I bought 3 cans. The spray nozzle on every can almost immediately clogged. I had to pull the tips off after making a pass or two to clean it out countless times. My hands were covered in paint. The constant issues with the tips clogging made the spray stream inconsistent so I ended up with streaks due to heavy and weak spray. It was a complete waste of money. The issue was with every can. I wish I would have just stopped after the first can, but I kept trying new cans thinking it was an isolated issue. Very disappointed.

I had an old green awning that was supposed to be thrown away. When I looked at replacement costs, I decided to keep it. It sat in my backyard for over a year, until I got this idea to paint it. I used 2 cans and didn’t spray the inside of it. Outdoor fabric is tough to paint so if you have a larger project consider that you will need quite a few cans. I really needed 2 more cans to spray inside. Great product. It has endured very heavy rain and no color loss has occurred. No color transfer onto my pink colored house either.

I have used the spray on two fabric styles now.I first decided to try it on an arm chair I got from pier 1 close to 8 years ago and the fabric didn’t match anything o had anymore and my curiosity got the better of me so I decided to try fabric paint.It took me 7 bottles/cans to evenly cover the entire arm chair. Took about 5 days to fully dry so there wasn’t any smudging paint.The one challenge I had was making sure the painting was evenly across the fabric as it had the tendency of lighter and darker coverage areas so that took some getting use to.The paint quality is durable and a solid navy blue color which was what I had wanted.It has been about 6 months since I painted the chair and it still looks good.You can use this paint to change the color of a fabric or cushion but keep in mind if the fabric has a texture on it the textured pattern will remain.

My outdoor cushions are rust and we’re so sunbleached. Replacing them would have been outrageously expensive so I decided to try this. I had 6 large cushions, 7 medium cushions. I used the same color so I only had to do 2 coats on most. 3 coats on a few. I used 7 cans. Although the paint isn’t cheap. I did in an afternoon what I would have spent buying 3 new medium cushionsThey look and feel brand new! Not stiff or uneven at all.My only complaint is that a couple of cans didn’t spray as evenly as the rest so I had to be care of drips. I used a foam craft brush for that and to get into seams.

I have a 9 foot patio umbrella that was very sun faded. It covered very well once I got the paint out of the can. The nozzles continuously clogged. Instead of a 1/2 hour job, it took almost 2 hours, fighting with the nozzles of 5 different spray cans. I bought that many to insure the fabric would be covered. PIA!

Beautiful rich dark red (not too dark). Following the directions: I used to touch-up my kitchen canvas curtains & now they look brand new. (2 coats) No harsh smell, easy application. So, I encountered no problems while using this product.

This was so aggravating. Ruined 4 used cushions I was going to paint, but just spotted them and worked long enough to spray a very light coat sporadically on the surface. This was on two cans. I tried one and it was useless, so I tried the other one and the same thing happened. Nozzle and application of this product are terrible. The paint may have been fine and the color looked decent, but the application was a failure. I called Rustoleum for a full refund. They were over $11.00 per can. Cushions, although used, will need to be tossed probably as I don't know if I can get the color corrected and it may be more expensive than they're worth. So aggravating to have this happen. Oh well, that's what reviews are for, I suppose.UPDATE: The description states this is eligible for refund or replacement. When I tried that on Amazon return page, it states it “this product is not eligible for return”. So, I then contacted Rustoleum themselves and she is supposed to send me a form and I’m to send a copy of the Amazon invoice to get a refund. We’ll see if this works out, but I just wanted to let one know to try that if they wanted to get a refund. It’s only around $25, but apparently they need to improve their spray nozzle on this product.
