Is it safe to use spray paint on fabric? Traditional spray paint also may be used to spray paint clothing. Krylon recommends using its indoor/outdoor variety, but other brands and styles work as well. Check that the brand you choose recommends its product for fabrics.
What is a substitute for fabric paint?
The easiest way to make a fabric paint from a basic acrylic paint is to thin it using an acrylic medium. I used a transparent Liquitex gloss medium which works well for light colored fabrics. If you want to use your paint for darker colors, it would be better to use an opaque gloss or matte medium.
Do you need to seal fabric paint?
Sealing the paint with heat, such as a hot iron, ensures that the paint lasts long and prevents paint from chipping in the wash. This is important to do for acrylic paint and any other commercial fabric paint.
Does fabric spray paint rub off on clothes?
The spray dye is permanent after it dries for 3 days. If it is raining or humid you will want to give it extra time to dry. When it is completely dry give it a good rub down to remove any excess paint. After that the paint is permanent and will not transfer to clothing.
