I spray painted my couch several years ago with upholstery paint. It works well. The result is a little stiffer fabric. If the vision is a solid light color the paint will work well. I have touched the paint up a couple of times where it appeared to be faded.

I recently read a blog where some one used watered down chalk paint and the fabric retained its softness.

If your fabric it's a pattern, then it will appear through the paint.
