How to Spray Paint an Upholstered Chair

How to spray paint upholstery:

Step 1: Get inspired by the very crafty Megan at OmahaHa! and rip off the hideous, ill-fitting cover on the milk-stained but otherwise good chair in your living room.

Step 2: Order four cans of saddle brown paint and hope for a pretty fall day.


Step 3: Make a half-hearted attempt to clean the chair because it seems like you should. Drag your chair outside in the front yard and excitedly start painting. Forget to take a before picture of your milk-stained chair.
 

Step 4: Sit on your porch and take an artsy photo of your chair as it dries from coat one.


 
 
Step 5: Make sure you remember to paint the cushions as you start coat two.
 
Step 6: Leave the chair on the front porch to dry.
 
Step 7: Get home from work and activities after dark for a week so you can't finish final touch-ups.
 
Step 8: Find the last nearly empty spray bottle lying in your yard and use it to get a few places you missed.
 
 
Step 9: Bring your chair inside and take an after picture.
 
Step 10: Enjoy a new chair for a fraction of the price.

  2. Really great blog i have ever seen. While on the other side of coin, if you are just doing a small job then what’s the use of buying a commercial sprayer? After deciding the type and size of paint sprayer you required, you must consider its quality.

  15. However, there is a way to obtain at least a part of the dream. But first, let's be honest - there's no such thing as an empty road where you can speed along as fast as you like. In fact, most people don't buy sports cars because of their speed or how they handle. They buy them because of how they look.

  16. Is the picture? Or seems a bit irregular... most of articles talk about using a huge quantity of cans to gen homogenius painted color... So, could you please answer if is irregular, or not, and last question... Does color still remain at same intensity? I want to paint my Chaiselone with exactly same Brown, but I'm trying to get real reviews...
