Fabricoat Raspberry Fabric Paint is designed for DIY enthusiasts and crafters looking to refresh or recolor various fabric items within their homes, such as sofas, cushions, and curtains. Its primary benefit is providing a durable, flexible, and vibrant color finish that revives fabrics without making them stiff, offering a cost-effective alternative to replacement. A key caveat is that it is not intended for outdoor fabrics or those frequently exposed to direct sunlight or rain. This all-in-one paint acts like a fabric dye, ensuring strong, non-fading colors and a soft feel after drying.

Fabricoat is suitable for most indoor upholstery fabrics, cotton, linen, and synthetic blends. It's always recommended to perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first.
No, Fabricoat is not designed for outdoor furniture or fabrics that are exposed to prolonged sunlight or rain, as this can affect its durability and color fastness.
Once fully cured (allow 72 hours), fabrics can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry for best results.
Fabricoat is formulated to remain soft and flexible, preventing the fabric from becoming hard or stiff after drying. Applying thin coats helps maintain fabric feel.
The number of coats depends on the fabric type, original color, and desired vibrancy. It's best to apply multiple thin, even coats, allowing each to dry partially, until the desired coverage is achieved. Always refer to your patch test results.
Once Fabricoat is fully dried and cured, the colors are strong, vibrant, and resistant to fading or rubbing off under normal use and proper care.
Coverage can vary based on the fabric's absorbency and texture, and the application technique. A 500ml bottle is typically sufficient for moderate-sized projects like a couple of cushions or a small armchair panel. Refer to the product packaging for specific coverage estimates if available.
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. If needed, you can lightly dampen your brush or applicator with water, but avoid over-diluting the paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
This can sometimes occur if applied too thickly. Try working the fabric gently with your hands once fully dry. For future applications, focus on applying thinner coats. Consider a small amount of fabric softener during the final wash after curing, if appropriate for the fabric type.
Ensure the original fabric color was light enough, or that the fabric is porous enough to absorb the dye. Multiple thin coats will build vibrancy. Always perform a patch test on your specific fabric.
The paint may not have been fully cured. Allow at least 72 hours for full curing before normal use or cleaning. Ensure the fabric was properly prepared and a patch test was successful.
Preparation: Ensure the fabric surface is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, grease, or old finishes. For best results, wash and dry the fabric item before application.
Patch Test: It is highly recommended to test Fabricoat on a small, hidden area of the fabric first. This allows you to check color uptake, drying time, and how the fabric feels after application.
Application: Apply Fabricoat evenly using a brush, roller, or sponge. Work in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry partially before applying the next. Avoid over-saturation.
Drying: Allow the painted fabric to dry completely. Drying time can vary depending on application thickness and environmental conditions. It may take several hours to become touch-dry and up to 72 hours to fully cure.
Compatibility: Fabricoat is designed for most indoor upholstery fabrics, cotton, linen, and synthetic blends. It is *not* recommended for outdoor furniture, fabrics exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or rain, or heavily coated synthetics.
Care: Once fully cured, the fabric can be cleaned. For best results, hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. Allow to air dry.
