Using a staple gun, I attached the fabric to the bottom of the chair. I cut the back off the pillow, removed the stuffing, then wrapped it around the seat. Time to transform the cushions! I pivoted mid-project because the sunflower fabric was not actually outdoor fabric, so I used fabric from a worn outdoor pillow from Goodwill to reupholster it. I ended up really loving the black as is, it looked like wrought iron! After covering all the rust the chairs looked brand new! It took 2 cans to paint the 3 chairs with two coats. Next, I sprayed the metal chair base with Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer to stop the rusting, and create a smooth, paintable surface. If there is any chipping paint, brush the chipping areas with a wire brush. I prepped the chairs by hosing them down and wiping off the cobwebs, and then sanding the rusted areas flat. The Steps:įirst, I removed the cushion so I could tackle the prep work on the chair frames. This oil based formula creates a bond with a rusted surface that can be easily painted (I ended up not painting and leaving it the black color). The best part? It protects and prevents future rust. Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer: Use on any rusty, metal surface to instantly convert rust to a flat black, paintable surface. It comes in 9 colors, and I used the colors Medium Gray and Khaki. It’s got great adhesion to fabric with water repellency and after applied has weather and UV resistant properties. It dries soft & flexible because it’s water-based unlike traditional spray paint. Rust-Oleum Outdoor Fabric Paint: This spray is specifically meant for existing outdoor fabric, it is not intended for indoor fabric. I’m glad I grabbed the matching set because I ended up using them to recover the chairs. All the pillows were from Goodwill for $2-$3 each. My MIL said she found them on the side of the road and was happy to offer them up for a makeover. I spotted the other two at my In-laws house.
I was looking for some chairs to try these fabric paints on, and was coming up short at the thrift stores (thrift tip: you’ll have more luck finding outdoor furniture in the off-season!) I found this yellow one at Goodwill for a couple dollars, but I still need to find a round cushion for it.

Keep reading to get all the details on the process, Do’s and Don’ts, plus my recommendation for the perfect project for this outdoor spray paint. The answer is “YES!” I recently gave these outdoor chairs a major makeover, and I am quite pleased with how they turned out. When they launched their Rust-Oleum Outdoor Fabric Spray Paint I got a bunch of DMs asking if I tried it or if I was planning a project with it.
I’m a big fan of Rust-Oleum Spray Paint, it’s an essential part of my DIY toolkit. Outdoor Chair Makeover with Fabric Spray Paint DIY PROJECT
