- This video is a DIY do it yourself tutorial to add life to and fix a sun faded old patio umbrella or any outdoor furniture or fabric. This video shows you how to simply spray paint a faded outdoor patio umbrella. The patio umbrella I am fixing is a Hampton Bay 11 foot Solar Umbrella that was several years old and had faded and gotten mildew stains from being used in the Florida weather and sun. You can paint your umbrella with regular standard spray paint. You do not need to use the more expensive outdoor fabric spray paint. I used Rustoleum 2X paint and primer spray paint in satin wildflower blue and dark walnut. I used about 5 cans for an 11 foot umbrella and its base. I got the spray paint a t a local Walmart for about $5 per can. This umbrella is $300 new and for $25 dollars and a few hours of work it looks brand new and matches my patio decor perfectly. This is a great cheap umbrella canopy hack that can get you many more years out of your umbrella or outdoor deck furniture. If you want to love your umbrella or outdoor furniture again refurbish it with a quick spray!
UPDATE: I made this video three months ago and the umbrella still looks amazing and like it is brand new. The regular spray paint is holding up perfectly and has not faded or come off.

Your video was wonderful ! I have an umbrella from Orchards store. It was dark green and the outside faded. I follow your video and used rust-oleum in hunt club green. I was amazed by the results. It looks like a brand new umbrella. I only paid $13.00 for 2 bottles of paint and $5.00 for the plastic floor protector. Didn’t buy the comfort grip since I only needed to paint one side of the umbrella and I kept it the same color. I did wear a mask protector for spray painting.😊

I spray-painted mine but I left mine hooked up and I opened it up laid it on the ground made it much easier and more of a consistent coverage. But I bought red umbrellas from Sam’s back in 2009 and I still have them up in my backyard. I have spray-painted them once and then have taken them down and pressure wash them twice in that amount of time and you know they’re still holding up the hardware is starting to go, and the edges of the umbrella are starting to unravel, but the damn paint held up. And I use Krylon that plastic paint I cannot believe how well it held up and I even used it on my outdoor furniture. Everything was pressure washed first though to get it clean.
It looked great when it was all done and it certainly an option when you’re umbrella is faded, but it looks as though you spent about $50 on paint and you can certainly get a replacement umbrella for less than that.
THANK YOU!!! I was given a nice, big, expensive one that is all faded. I knew it could be saved!
Your patio umbrella restoration process was flawlessly described! your method was the best one out there and most practical and will do ours the same, thank you!
So hey, I'm just seeing this video now, 3 years later. Wondering how that paint held up over the years? It looked really awesome after you finished it. We have a green one that I want to paint purple. Thanks
I have a 9 foot faded blue umbrella. I changed the top colour to burgundy using the Rustoleum 2X paint and primer spray recommended. This took 4 cans to complete. Some of the burgundy paint seeped through to the underside creating a unique design of deep blue and burgundy. It is a fantastic improvement. Also, thank you for mentioning the comfort grip. This worked like a charm and will be useful for other DIY projects.
Thanks and I am glad it helped!
Follow... I have to do the same. ;)
It would have been great if you showed how you removed the canopy and reattach to the umbrella arm. Thanks for advising the type of paint used, very helpful. Also didn't think about washing in machine, another good idea.
Awesome so clean
I have been doing spray painting projects for as long as i can remember an have never seen that 6$ attachment gun.
That's a game changer so thank you for showing that cool gizmo.
I saw an add for Krylon fabric spray paint but $12 a can makes it cost prohibitive. I have 4 large umbrellas.
I may try one of each product as a test just to see.
I once used a pro compressor paint gun for a large scale art project which is like driving a Rolls Royce after a driving a Yugo. Thank you for sharing your project video👍👏
Wow I noticed that the handle gave it a better coat!!!!! Amazing!!!!
Thanks Monika!

Great Job!
Good idea about adding the paint trigger - I sprayed a bench several years ago and I think I damaged nerves in my fingertip. It took about 6 months for numbness to go away!
Thank you for this video.
Great idea thank you
Great job
Great Idea, I have mine look like the same model from the base to the canopy, but I have a hard time figuring out how to remove the canopy, there is not a twist-off, not I can find any screw that can be taken apart.
I have the same issue. Want to go from tan to black to avoid future discoloration. I think I’m going to get a big tote and some fabric dye, and just saturate it for a few hours
How did it turn out?
I jut did the same thing to mine but i let it dry before i painted it.I painted mine red white and blue.It turned out ok but not as yours.Thank you forthis video.It helped me out.
There awesome! You’re very welcome and I’m sure your next one will turn out better!
I have done this before… Are used black acrylic paint… I used a paint brush… I left the umbrella on the frame… I just opened it up took it out in the yard and painted it… It worked out great
Does the texture of the fabric umbrella harden due to painting???
@@Bichons9 I didn’t notice that… All I noticed is that the colors were vibrant and that they lasted far more than the original fabric that the umbrella was made out of… The original color faded right away… The painted umbrella lasted for a long long long time!
@@Bichons9 yes, I wouldn't say hard. I would say stiffened it up a bit.
Are you able to close and open the umbrella without any issue after it's been painted? I seem to think of the paint as being more of a hard shell, and thus having to leave the umbrella open forever?
How does this hold up after the wear of opening and closing the umbrella often (if u do)? We close ours often bc of strong ocean winds but I’d love to change the colour
I painted mine and it came out nice. I do have spots showing on the underside. What to do?
Can you use the ? outdoor paint with primer on an umbrella
Could you comment on any updates on your umbrella project? Thanks
💙
I have the same color and girl it is Hella faded. Is the paint you used UV rated or is there paint there that is UV protection?
How did you disassemble the umbrella from the hinges?
Crank the umbrella down so that the fabric hangs more loosely. Pull The fabric from the tip of each spine.... you will see how the fabric has a little pocket at the tip of each spine holding it onto each spine. Next, remove the cap at the top of the pole which holds the center of the fabric to the pole. You can now remove the umbrella fabric. Everything goes back on in the reverse order.
Can you send me the link to that exact color, Thank you and Please
How many cans of paint did you use?
What kind of fabric is the umbrella? I have an old poly fabric, not canvas. Would your technique work on synthetic fabric?
Did you try this one your poly fabric? How'd it go?
Will it stain if it rains?
How does the umbrella look now a year later? How many cans did you use for the canopy?
No reply. That might be significant.
This is an amazing idea! I came to TH-cam looking for ideas on how I could save my faded umbrella and found the answer, just subscribed. How many cans of paint did it take you to paint the umbrella and how many for the base? I actually have the same umbrella lights and all!
Thanks! It took about 6 cans for the umbrella and only 1 for the base! Would love to see how it turns out!!!
How many cans were used? 5?
Will you scotchguard or weather proof the topside to repel water?
Gd idea
Do you think it could have been dyed ?
it's most certainly made from a synthetic fabric and there are dyes for that (like rit dyemore) but the fabric needs to be boiled with the dye (in a pot, on your stovetop) for an hour or so, and if you don't have a pot big enough for the umbrella fabric, then it's impossible. I have not found any other methods to dye synthetic fabrics at home yet :\
Wouldn't it be better to put it back on the umbrella pole and then paint?
After watching this; I prefer to buy a new one. 😳
I wonder if ritt dye would work better than the spray paint? Then just put on some fabric anti fade spray. Not sure which would hold up better?
JulieAnkha N. That’s what I was thinking about too.
@@shadyj1976 If the material has polyester in it, it will not dye. FYI
Is it worth it!? How many can u used for an umbrella!?
Did this end up being cost effective after all the paint and attachment cost compared to a new umbrella? What was the total cost just for the umbrella?
She shared the cost.
oops. did not think of the underside. gotta remove it
How about just soaking it in food colour. These spray paint pricey given that i only pay $30 for my umbrella.
What kind of spray paint you use I have a faded red umbrella
Lmao rust oleum 2x for outside
How many cans of the spray cans did you use??
And did it get stiff?
Advice. Don’t remove fabric from the umbrella. It’s easier ti paint when on because the fabric is stretched.
Great. Replacing these umbrellas can get expensive. Would it be easier to paint the fabric already installed and stretched out. I have four umbrellas to do and some mold to clean first. Changing the original color would be nice.
I hope it all goes well!
It looks nice but you expend at least 70.00 no 25
How long do you think that would last? I'm gonna do mine!!!!
Ours is still holding up!
How many cans were used?
She replied in another comment. 5 cans for umbrella and 1 can for metal base
It is important to note that if you spray oil paints on your lawn you will kill your lawn.
U look great😂
HOW MANY CANS?? WHY NOT USE CANNED PAINT AND ROLLER BRUSH?
Bryan we used about 6 cans
That's what I am attempting now...
I think I like you.
WHY NOT USE $20 CAN 1 GALLON FLAT PAINT ?????
It doesn't look like the same umbrella , the dirty umbrella was kind of beige not blue.
i think its much better to dye it. just buy a dye and a big bucket. just soak it
you know they sell fabric dye right? besides, It will probably start ripping in places because the UV light will have already damaged the umbrella and drastically shorted it's lifespan.
fabric dye does not take on polyester
Just use rit dye next time $3
To much time and effort for it to look like that
$25 gets you a new replacement
The umbrella is only $50 bucks at Home Depot.. I just bought one and it's worth just spending another $25 bucks than painting which sucks ass.
You just have the cheap one. These umbrellas are minimum $300 each just for the fabric replacement
My umbrella was over 400.00 twenty plus years ago...beauriful palm leaf design....and Im Thinking I just might paint over the flowers and leaves as is by hand....and see if they would look fresh and clean from that. If not, I’ll try the spray paint all one color.
This is so misleading..$25!! I already spent $70 for 6 cans of spray paint and thats just for the top!! The top still needs another coat and i havent even gotten to the bottom!! Its going to cost me more than the umbrella was worth. The only reason im going to finish is because its a nice wooden umbrella with built in lights on the frame...
Your spraying wrong. I work with this cans alot
Wow 5 cans @$71 per can. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy an umbrella? You did a great job but that's a little expensive.
She said it was 5$ per can. And she used 5 cans. So it cost her 25$
Background music spoilt video
Great I waited 9 mins and you didn’t show how to slip the canopy in. 😡
Just soak in food color. It is more environmentally responsible.
...and if you walk to the store instead of drive that would be even better!!!
Bruhahahaha.
Time is money I would buy new one instead of do all that
Work
U painted the underside less because u said its seen less? That doesnt make sense..
Ppl literally sit under it and look at that part more than anything lol
Music is annoying. Sorry.
The music SUCKS!
Great idea but that's killing everything and everyone. Air pollution.
Not as much as driving to work and back every day! Just sayin’.
