Default Upholstery paint-has anyone used it?

Has anyone used upholstery spray paint on cabin cushions? If so, what were your results? Thanks.

Default Couch

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.

Thanks Island Girl.....I'll test it out on the back of a cushion to see how it plays.
