Spraying it makes it a bit hard and crusty. Tbh you can get a decent bit of material from a market stall or similar that will make it look much much better, and will probably cost less than the spray anyway.  :wink:

Saw this at http://www.fabricspray.co.uk/shop/upholstery-spray-paint/plum (http://www.fabricspray.co.uk/shop/upholstery-spray-paint/plum) but im sure it was cheaper here www.fabricuk.com (http://www.fabricuk.com). btw the material im buying is £8.99 (per meter)
and i need 1mtr x 2mtr http://www.fabricuk.com/fabrics.php?categ=6#dataform (http://www.fabricuk.com/fabrics.php?categ=6#dataform) (its the red & purple sample ive got) the purple is alot more richer & darker in pic.
