Painting outdoor cushions?

[Phentex]

Years ago, I bought some deck furniture with big cushions and they have begun to fade. I read the reviews before I purchased and I knew what I was in for but the furniture itself has held up great and is really comfortable. I keep thinking about just replacing the cushions but that's pretty expensive to do and this isn't a need, just a want. Then it hit me that somebody has probably found a way to dye the cushions or recover them, etc. and sure enough there is fabric paint for outdoor furniture!!!

I found some called Simply Spray which is available through Amazon but there's a whole website called Spray It New.

Anyone ever tried this? Some blogs talked about using regular spray paint but this fabric paint sounds doable. Thoughts?

1. It should work well on cushions that aren't slick

and be tolerable with occasional touchups on cushions that are slick.

2. These aren't slick but they aren't regular fabric either...

not quite Sunbrella material but similar. For 12 bucks, it's worth a shot!

3. Hell yes, it's cheaper than a couple of hundred dollars

for new cushions! Even if you have to retouch the places that rub against the frames, it's a good deal.
