Deliver outstanding results with our versatile Soft Bristle Brush
Before unleashing your creativity with our fabric paint, clean the fabric with our Soft Bristle Brush. Its gentle bristles will penetrate into any type of fabric, loosening and removing any dirt and grime.
Then use again during painting to effortlessly glide over each coat of fabric paint to provide an even coverage and maintain the fabric’s softness. As you paint, brush the surface a few times in all directions to prevent any fibres sticking together.
After use, wash the brush in water and leave to dry naturally. It’s then ready to use for your next Fabricoat upcycling project.
Deliver outstanding results with our tapered Paintbrush
Our angled, cutting in paint brush will work your chosen colour of Fabricoat paint deep into the fabric. Its firm, synthetic bristles hold the paint giving you an even finish.
The wooden handle provides both comfort and control as you unleash your creativity. It’s made from sustainable hardwood so eco-friendly too.
After use, wash the brush in water and leave to dry naturally. It’s then ready to use for your next Fabricoat upcycling project.
Width is 60mm or 2.5 inches. Height is 241mm or 9.5 inches.
Frequently Asked Questions
A. Yes, Fabricoat will work on any fabric provided it's absorbent. To test absorbency, drop some water onto the fabric and see if it soaks in. If it does, it is absorbent, and Fabricoat will work. We’d advise that for fabrics with a pile, you order double the amount of fabric paint as there's more surface area to cover.
A. A 250ml bottle will cover a lampshade or cushion, 500ml will paint a dining chair or a footstool, 1 litre will be enough for an armchair, headboard, or car seat, and 2.5 litres will be enough to transform a three-seater sofa.
However, if your fabric has a pile (like velvet, faux-suede, chenille, draylon, or microfibre), you will need to use more product as there is much more surface area to cover. We suggest ordering double the above quantities of fabric paint for these fabric types.
Our 125ml bottles are for small craft projects such as painting or printing on clothing, bags, napkins, lampshades and more. Alternatively they can be used as tester bottles to perform a small test on an inconspicuous area before tackling larger upholstery projects, if you want to see how the colour will turn out.
A. No, as long as you brush the fabric with a Soft Bristle Brush during and after painting it should not feel any different. Fabricoat is designed to dry with a soft, flexible finish without changing how the fabric feels.
A. If you want to change the colour of an item, we recommend you always use a darker paint than the original colour. If you do wish to transform your item to a lighter colour, the original darker colour is likely to show through. You can use our White Fabricoat as a base paint, but we suggest you always test a corner of the fabric first to guarantee this will work.
A. Sofas, chairs, lampshades, blinds, headboards and car interiors, but the possibilities are endless. Our small 125ml craft sized bottles are perfect for hand painting or printing on t-shirts and bags, or decorating fabric advent calendars and cushions. Check out our Inspire page or socials to see what our community have been painting.
A. Yes, it is. Fabricoat takes two hours to become touch-dry and can be used after that, but we’d advise waiting a full seven days to allow the colour to fully cure. Once it’s fully cured, the material can be washed or cleaned as normal. Once dry, it will not rub off onto your clothes or other items.

Slightly apprehensive to begin but trusted the process as described Very happy with the saving of buying a new sofa Would highly recommend and use again
So easy to use. Excellent coverage. Brushakes huge difference. Material feels the same after painting and not stiff. Definitely recommend and would use again.
Loving the colour on my chair transform from pink to orange! Going to paint some other chairs to add to the collection
Delighted with the colour, will definitely use this product again! The paintbrush and buff brush made it easier. Thinking what to revive next!
A great product! Easy to use and has transformed my room at a fraction of the cost of replacing the panels. Would highly recommend, five stars!
I wanted to transform my old furniture into something different. I read the reviews and they all seemed pretty good. I chose a vibrant colour (raspberry) and went for it. As you can see from the photos I’m over the moon. It was so easy once I read the instructions and I couldn’t be happier. I totally recommend Fabricoat it’s amazing. I’m thrilled with the results. Don’t hesitate it’s amazing. X
A single coat provided a great cover for 4 x chairs. Very happy with results
My chairs look amazing in the dark green! Covered so well and has transformed my kitchen table
Love this product great results 👏 👍
Was so impressed by other reviews I took the risk on painting our old sun faded ottoman bed head and frame myself! The perfectionist in me says this needs another coat, but as a first coat it is great - took 4 hours approx to do it all. A spray bottle is essential to moisten the areas as you go, super happy with the result! Also have 4 dining room chairs, an IKEA wingback chair and foot stall to do next! Great products
Great brushes worked a treat,
Brush worked well.
Really easy to apply the paint and the paint brush and brush purchased to apply the paint worked well. I have upcycled my chair at minimal cost and effort!
3rd hand sofa painted in olive looks amazing 🤩
This is with one coat so far and a brush with the duo set I purchased along side the fabricoat paint in dark green it goes in so easy and smooth I love it … I’m looking for more things to paint and diff colours .
Very good bristles and high quality. Would recommend.
Great coverage, didn’t smell. I liked it
The paint brush was very good quality and angled to make the job easier.
Does the job
Quality products
Great product
Both did the job well
Love it!
The paint brush is ok but does lose it’s bristles which is annoying Didn’t really need the other brush
My decorator did some lampshades for my Master Bedroom. They turned out lovely and she said your product was easy to use, especially after watching some YouTube videos on the subject. She did a great job and loved your products!
Both brushes perfect for the job that each are meant for
The brushes were excellent. I found a soft bristle brush to help blend the paint so this would have been a good addition to the brushes on offer.
The product are very good quality, both the brushes were fantastic quality and lovely to use. Shame the colour paint didn’t cover my sofa but that’s my own fault for buying orange paint for a red sofa. Either way the product is wonderful and well worth the money
I used this fabric paint on two very different chairs, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well it performed. The coverage is brilliant, even on my suede chair, which needed around three coats, the finish came out beautifully smooth and even. I bought the brush combo made everything so much easier. The dark green shade is absolutely gorgeous and looks so rich once dry. I bought the larger bottle and still have some left over, which is great for any future touch‑ups. I’m really happy with this product, will definitely be using it again, and I’ve already recommended it to others. A fab find!
Great items! Made the task an easy one.
nice enough brushes for a decent price
Unbelievable product!! Delighted with results
Perfect combo for the paint
Bought the brushes to use when painting my lampshades. Really good application and would recommend.
