Nope nope nope nope. Paint isn’t meant to flex and move around, it’ll peel off all raggedy and be impossible to clean up.

If you don’t want to buy a new cover, fabric dye is cheap and easy to work with (easier than spray paint, really, just do it outside in a bucket or something, and wear gloves…) but if at all possible you’ll want to test on a swatch of the same fabric to check the color; it can vary a lot depending on the material.

If I were to use fabric dye would I need to take the fabric off the seat. I detached it from the chair itself but the fabric is still wrapped around the seat

You’d need to take the fabric off the chair if you were going to to spray paint it, too ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This is one of those things where trying to save time by skipping a step or two is going to end up costing way more time cleaning up your mistakes — do it right or don’t bother
