TULIP Fabric & Upholstery Paint — Navy Blue 500 ml, Permanent Washable Soft Finish

TULIP Fabric & Upholstery Paint in Navy is a permanent, washable fabric paint formulated to refresh clothing and indoor upholstery with rich, flexible colour that dries soft and resists cracking.

Give old garments, chair cushions, curtains, and other light-coloured textiles a renewed look using this 16.9 fl. oz. bottle of deep navy fabric paint. Designed for indoor fabrics and optimised for pale or pastel backgrounds, the paint applies smoothly with a brush or sponge and creates a professional soft-touch finish without heat-setting. After a 72-hour cure, painted wearable items are machine washable and upholstery can be spot cleaned, so colour stays vivid through normal use.

How do I apply TULIP Navy Fabric & Upholstery Paint for even coverage?

Apply the paint in thin, even layers for the best finish. Use a flat brush for broad areas or a sponge for textured pieces, and allow each coat to dry before adding another to build depth without stiffness.

• Prewash fabric and remove sizing or finishes.
• Lay cardboard between layers to prevent bleed-through.
• Apply 1–2 coats; let each coat dry 4+ hours before recoating.
• For large pieces, work in sections to maintain wet edges and uniform colour.

Will the colour stay soft and resist cracking on furniture and clothing?

The formula is made to remain flexible and soft once cured, so it moves naturally with fabric rather than becoming brittle. With proper application and curing time, the finish resists cracking, peeling, and colour transfer under normal indoor use.

• Dries to a soft, flexible finish—no stiff, plastic feel.
• Not recommended for heavily textured fabrics like velvet.
• Spot clean upholstery; machine wash painted garments after full cure.
• Avoid heavy abrasion or outdoor exposure to prolong colour life.

How much paint will I need and what projects suit the 16.9 fl. oz. size?

The 16.9 fl. oz. bottle is sized for medium-to-large projects where consistent coverage is important. It’s especially convenient for several garments, a set of cushions, or re-coloring individual furniture pieces like chair seats or ottomans.

• Good for multiple shirts or a pair of pants when used sparingly.
• Sufficient for chair seats, small sofa cushions, or area rug touch-ups.
• One bottle covers larger décor projects without constant refills.
• Test a swatch first to estimate coverage on your specific fabric.

How should I care for fabrics painted with TULIP Navy Fabric & Upholstery Paint?

Allow painted items to cure undisturbed for the recommended 72 hours to reach full durability. After curing, painted clothing can be laundered and painted upholstery can be spot cleaned to maintain colour and texture.

• Let paint cure 72 hours before washing or heavy use.
• Machine wash clothing gently; avoid bleach and harsh detergents.
• Spot clean upholstery with mild soap and water as needed.
• Reapply touch-up coats if high-wear areas begin to fade over time.

Who is this for: TULIP Navy Fabric & Upholstery Paint suits DIYers, crafters, and home improvers who want a reliable permanent dye for indoor textiles—especially those working with light-coloured fabrics who need a soft, washable finish for wearable items, cushions, curtains, and other home décor updates.
