Fabric Spray Paint is the Easiest Way to Make Over Your Fabrics

What is fabric spray paint? Spray paint is the easiest way to make something old new again, or give an item a whole new look; the same is true for our fabrics! Fabric spray paints come in an assortment of non-aerosol and aerosol paint formulas designed to give your fabrics an instant boost of permanent, beautiful color. Fabric spray paint is formulated specially for fabrics, so the paint dries permanent, flexible and washable. Some fabric spray paints are specially formulated for outdoor fabrics, so they are UV and water resistant too. Always check the labels to make sure you are getting the right kind of fabric spray paint for your project!

 

Permanent Fabric Spray Paints for Natural and Synthetic Fabrics

Do fabric spray paints only work on natural fabrics? Can I use fabric spray paint on synthetic fabrics too? Yes! You should be able to use fabric spray paints on both natural and synthetic fabrics, whether you are spraying color on clothing, interior fabrics or outdoor fabrics. Make sure to read the labels and product information to verify before applying on your fabrics.

 

Blendable Fabric Spray Paint Colors

Some aerosol fabric spray paints can be blended on fabric to create new colors and fun ombre effects. To blend the colors, spray onto the fabric and layer over one another while the paints are still wet. It’s that easy!

 

Aerosol Fabric Spray Paint versus Non-Aerosol Fabric Spray Paint

What’s the difference between using an aerosol fabric spray paint and a non-aerosol fabric spray paint? How do they look different? Unlike aerosol fabric spray paints, non-aerosol formulas come with a pump nozzle that can create fun effects like big splatters and varying mists depending on how you press the nozzle. Aerosol fabric spray paints achieve a finer mist for smooth, even coverage and layering for sheer to opaque looks. Both formulas dry permanently on fabric with a flexible hold, and both can be used alone or with stencils and resist techniques. It all just depends on the fabric spray paint look you are going for!

 

Fabric Spray Paint versus Spray Paint

Is there a difference between regular spray paint and fabric spray paint? Yes! Regular spray paints are formulated to work on hard surfaces, and therefore do not dry with a flexible hold. They will dry stiff and crack and crumble off of fabrics! Fabric spray paints are designed specifically for fabrics, so they dry permanent, flexible and washable, and won’t cover the weave of the fabric for a comfortable, natural look. No one ever has to know you painted your fabric!

 

Fabric Spray Paints Won’t Rub Off on Clothing

How frustrating would it be to have a beautifully repainted couch or pillow and you can’t use it because every time you come into contact with it, the color rubs off – on YOU! With fabric spray paints designed for upholstery, you don’t have to stress about the color rubbing off and ruining your favorite pair of jeans or your brand-new top. The color stays put once dry!

 

Fabric Spray Paint Techniques

What kind of techniques can you use with fabric spray paints? All kinds! Of course you can spray them alone on fabric for solid coverage, but they work great with a variety of paint techniques too! Try using fabric spray paints with your favorite stencils, or with resist techniques, such as placing an item on top of the fabric and spraying over it to create the silhouette of the item underneath. You can also create geometric patterns using masking tape. The creative possibilities are endless with fabric spray paints!
