I want to entirely paint a Sofa and Wingback........ and im scared lol !!!....?Ok.... I have a old Sofa and matching chairs. Ive recently had a large patio cover installed over the rear of my house and would like to use the furniture...... and make it like a living room in the backyard... I'm thinking of painting the sofa and chairs and would like to use a paint that will make the furniture somewhat weatherproof as well..... The furniture will be under the very large patio cover..... so it will not be rained on at all, but will be exposed to humidity, condensation, ...... and pool water on the tushy..lol Sooo.... Is there a paint that i can use to paint the sofa and chairs entirely .... something that would give the furniture a waterproofing....rubber like coating?? thus changing indoor furniture .... to outdoor furniture.....Thank for reading....
The table: no problem. Sand it and use exterior latex paint in your color of choice. The chairs and sofa: problem. You are never going to keep the moisture out of the stuffing/padding no matter what you apply to the upholstery. You might be able to use them outdoors for one season but after that they are going to be moldy. If you can find a humidity resistant stuffing material I would suggest stripping the chair and sofa to the frame, re-stuff them and re-upholster in one of the newer weather resistant fabrics. I would waterproof the wood frame first and paint any exposed wood with exterior latex. Good luck!
