FAQs

How much area does one 150ml can cover?

One 150ml can covers approximately 0.75 square meters (or about 8 square feet) on average.

Can I use this paint on upholstery?

Yes, it can be used on upholstery, but always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and that the finish remains flexible and comfortable.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint typically dries to the touch in about 20 minutes. Full curing can take 24-72 hours.

Can I wash the painted fabric?

Yes, after the paint has fully cured (24-72 hours), you can wash the fabric. It is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry.

Will the paint make the fabric stiff?

No, this fabric spray paint is specially formulated to provide a flexible finish that moves with the fabric, preventing stiffness and cracking.

What should I do if the nozzle gets clogged?

If the nozzle becomes clogged, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the propellant. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent like mineral spirits, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.

Can I use this on shoes?

It can be used on fabric shoes, but ensure the fabric is clean and dry. Test first, as the flexibility might vary depending on the shoe's material and construction.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Hold the can upright and at the recommended distance (10-12 inches). Clean the spray nozzle if clogged.

Paint not adhering to fabric

Verify the fabric was clean and dry before application. Ensure the fabric type is compatible. Try applying a second coat after the first has dried.

Runs or drips appearing

Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and use steady, sweeping motions.

Color is not as expected

The final color can be affected by the original fabric color. For darker or more vibrant results, apply additional thin coats. Test on a scrap piece of fabric first.
