Fabricoat Fabric Paint & Upholstery Dye — Dark Grey flexible, soft-feel finish for sofas & clothing

Fabricoat Dark Grey Fabric Paint & Upholstery Dye is a flexible, soft-feel colorant designed to restore or change the colour of upholstery, clothing and home textiles without leaving a stiff finish.

Whether you want to refresh a faded sofa, recolor car seats, or update garments and curtains, this dark grey formula soaks into fibres for durable pigment that moves with the fabric. It’s formulated to penetrate absorbent textiles and bond colour while preserving the original texture, making it a practical DIY option for home, auto, and craft projects.

How does Fabricoat perform on worn or faded furniture?

Fabricoat restores colour uniformly across worn upholstery and conceals sun-fading and light staining when applied correctly. The dye-like formula penetrates fibres, reducing patchiness, while remaining flexible so the fabric keeps its natural drape and comfort.

• Penetrates absorbent upholstery for even colour restoration
• Maintains fabric hand — no crunchy or rigid feel
• Works on couches, chairs, car interiors, and fabric headboards

What fabrics and surfaces are compatible with this dark grey dye?

Most tightly woven and natural-fibre textiles accept the product well; pile or napped fabrics may need slightly more product for full coverage. Avoid non-absorbent surfaces like vinyl or coated synthetics unless they are specifically labeled as dyeable.

• Ideal for cotton, linen blends, canvas and many upholstery fabrics
• Accepts well on garments, curtains, and removable cushion covers
• Test on a hidden area for mixed or treated fabrics to confirm adhesion

How do I achieve an even finish and long-lasting result?

Prepare the fabric by cleaning and removing loose dirt or oils; apply Fabricoat with a sponge or brush in thin, overlapping strokes to prevent streaks. Allow adequate drying time between coats and follow any recommended setting or curing instructions for best durability.

• Clean fabric thoroughly before application
• Use thin layers, allow drying, then add additional coats as needed
• Blend edges carefully for seamless transitions

Will this change the texture or comfort of my fabrics?

No — the product is formulated to soak in and retain the fabric’s original softness and flexibility rather than forming a stiff surface film. This makes it suitable for items that are sat on, worn, or frequently handled.

• Designed to remain soft and flexible after drying
• Preserves the natural hand and breathability of textiles
• Ideal for seating, clothing, and frequently used textiles
