Bear in mind the leather-based ottoman I painted some time again?

It began out a darkish maroon coloration. Need to see it and the way I did it? Take a look at this put up right here >>> How To Paint Leather-based

So in that put up, I talked about attempting to color vinyl subsequent. Properly, I did it!

Right here’s what I realized and the way it went.

How To Paint Vinyl

I discovered this vinyl and wooden chair on the ReStore just a few weeks in the past…

Undoubtedly a bit dated and worn out too.

Fairly darn orange as nicely, lol!

See the arms of the chair?? Lacking stain, and so on.?

I had thought of utilizing our Cappucino Stain & Ending oil however determined in opposition to it.As an alternative, I used paint on the wooden areas. I’ll talk about that additional down.

Listed below are the merchandise I used for this whole mission.

First I wanted to resolve on colours. I needed to make this chair rather more impartial than it started. So I selected, Pebble. I discussed in my different put up about portray leather-based, that vinyl can typically be sticky when painted OR can resist paint. So with that risk, I made a decision to go forward and use Extremely Grip. Now, I’m not positive I wanted to however I needed to make certain it will work and cling.

CLEAN

However first, I cleaned it nicely with TSP Various. Then grabbed my paintbrush and curler to use the Extremely Grip.

APPLY ULTRA GRIP (non-obligatory)

I utilized it with the comb across the edges and the curler on the seat space so it will be clean.

PAINT

I allowed that to totally dry in a single day then I began portray. I did the identical method, brush then roll.

It lined very nicely. I might’ve nearly gotten away with one coat however did two. (drying in a single day in between coats)

PAINT TRIM, if any

Whereas I used to be ready for coat primary to dry, I began portray the wooden areas. I selected Oakham as a result of it’s a beautiful darkish impartial coloration.

I used this smaller brush to get into all of the areas simpler.

PAINT NAILHEADS, if any

As soon as the second coat was utilized to each (I did two coats of every coloration), I wanted to color the nailheads.I made a decision to combine up a few of my  German Silver (which is definitely kind of “gold-ish” in coloration) with mineral spirits so it’d be extra “paint-like” for simpler software.

This works very nicely! (and also you solely want a tiny little bit of mineral spirits)

I handpainted all of them and finished! (sure, that was a bit of tedious however like I all the time so, so very doable!)

APPLY WAX TO PAINTED VINYL

As soon as the whole lot was dry, I utilized one coat of Beeswax to the vinyl and one coat of Powerful Coat Topcoat to the wooden trim, and finished! 

Pebble is the proper impartial coloration. Not too white, not too yellow, not too grey.

Isn’t Oakham simply attractive? Can’t you simply see that on a bigger piece?? It’s a stunning darkish impartial that I can see going with a lot.

And that nailhead trim appears to be like so fairly in a refined gold with these colours.

So…is it versatile just like the leather-based was??

Yep!

And the opposite massive query…is it sticky?

Yep!! haha!

Properly, it was. And I used to be apprehensive it was going to remain that means. As the times have passed by since I completed it (about 2 days in the past), it’s not sticky. So I’m hoping which means it’s finished being sticky. An alternative choice if it’s sticky is to use Powerful Coat Topcoat however I didn’t go that route. I used Beeswax so I can’t strive that now. (you can not apply topcoat over wax) Both means, I’m going to maintain this one for a bit simply so I can see and report again. Thus far so good although!AND the paint adhered completely, in order that’s a win.

I believe I’ll search for 2 extra vinyl items to color and take a look at one with out the Extremely Grip and one with the Powerful Coat Topcoat as a substitute of Beeswax (which is really useful if vinyl will get sticky). , simply to see. As an alternative of a brand new put up, I’ll simply replace this put up once I do! Keep tuned!

I’ll say, general I like painted leather-based greater than painted vinyl. I identical to the texture of leather-based higher. Vinyl is tough. And it’s nonetheless “arduous” after portray. Leather-based is comfortable and it remained comfortable even after portray. Nonetheless so impressed with the leather-based portray. BUT when you have a vinyl piece that you just wish to be painted, I’d say there isn’t a purpose to not!

I hope this helped you learn to paint vinyl. Or a minimum of that it’s fairly attainable certainly to color vinyl. Assume you’d give it a strive?

PIN it to reserve it!

Oh! And I nearly forgot, listed here are just a few of those two boogers. (who adore one another, by the way in which) Ryder appears to be like ferocious. Then “Hello Mommy, what’s it, we’re harmless?” haha. However Piper is the one who normally inflicts a bit of ache, lol, take a look at the picture intently the place she has his lip in her tooth! Ha! They actually have the perfect time enjoying.

Additionally, you would possibly discover within the final picture, Ryder’s cheek is swollen on the precise aspect (his left). That’s the place the expansion is. We needed to postpone his surgical procedure for a number of causes however it’s scheduled for Sept. 20.

Have an exquisite weekend mates! Bear in mind my Fall Finds put up lately?? This one, right here. Properly, I bought just a few of the issues and am going to brighten our porch. I’ll share once I do!
