FAQs

What fabrics can I use Fabricoat on?

Fabricoat can be used on most indoor fabrics including those found on chairs, sofas, upholstery, clothing, blinds, car interiors, carpets, footwear, and handbags.

Can I use Fabricoat for outdoor furniture?

No, Fabricoat is not designed for outdoor furniture or fabrics that are exposed to prolonged sunlight or rain, as it may not withstand the elements.

Will the paint make my fabric hard or stiff?

No, Fabricoat is designed to keep the fabric soft and flexible. The material should not feel hard or stiff after the paint has dried.

How much paint do I need for my project?

Coverage varies: 250ml covers approx. 3 lampshades or a cushion. 500ml covers a dining chair, footstool, or jacket. 1 litre covers an armchair, headboard, or car seat. 2.5 litres covers a three-seater sofa or king bed frame. Note that fabrics with a pile or nap require double the amount.

How do I clean items painted with Fabricoat?

Clean treated fabrics as you normally would, following the original care instructions for the fabric where possible. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Does the color fade or rub off?

Once dry, the colours are strong, vibrant, and designed not to fade or rub off.

Is a patch test necessary?

For optimal results and to ensure flawless finish, a patch test is recommended to see how the fabric interacts with Fabricoat before starting your main project.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color application or streaks

Ensure the paint is applied evenly and consistently. If streaks appear, try applying a second thin coat after the first has dried. A patch test can help identify application techniques that work best for your specific fabric.

Fabric feels slightly stiff after drying

While Fabricoat is designed to remain soft, some fabrics may react differently. Applying thinner coats or ensuring even distribution can help maintain flexibility. Gentle flexing of the fabric after drying may also improve softness.

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the fabric surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from any residues, waxes, or finishes that might prevent adhesion. Re-test on a clean section.
