In reply to Sharon. Hmm, if it's starting to peel, I would probably try to remove it and recover it with a pretty fabric. Or just cover right over it. I'm not sure what else you could do in that situation. (I don't think paint would help if it's peeling)

I have an ergonomically correct office chair with a faux leather finish that is starting to peel and looks ugly. Suggestions for remediation? Would paint help?

In reply to Julie Briones. Thanks Julie! Hmm, I did these last year but most likely let them dry overnight. That is what I would recommend anyway. And nope, just pull it off being careful not to hit any of the edges with the loose tape. I like pulling it off before it's completely dry. :)

These are so pretty, and the update looks great… Couple questions.. How long did you let the white paint dry before taping for the stripes? When you pull the tape off, is there a method… like pulling up and in toward the stripes, or straight up or…? (This is the “I-don’t-want-to-make-a-mistake-if-I-don’t-have-to mind that I have!) Thanks, Nancy!

Lovely! I have avoided fabric chairs, but after seeing your post, I’m gonna keep my eye out for them! Love the grain sack stripe!
