Let me save you all alot of time and exercise RIT liquid dye in dark green at 180 degrees and white vinegar and a squirt of dishwashing detergent didnt do anything to my awning. I followed all the youtube directions i roller brushed it pumped the liquid dye directly on it with a sprayer lt turned green i let it dry got up on top of the box to wash off solar panels and washed every bit of the green rite off like water on a waxed hood sooooooo im going to try the rit synthetic dyemore later this week ! If that doesnt work looks like 383 green will give me some color on it . KNOCK ON WOOD

I told Mullaney when someone tells you to just DYE it thats code for G.F.Y. lmao ! I had a long talk with the awning this morning and I told her by the weekend your going to be green or your going to be in ashes which ever way you want to play it ! So thats my final offer on the matter . And all that aside you gave me an idea to try to dye the engine mound cover i will try a small piece and see if it takes my dye .

UPDATE ON DYE ! Used Rit DYEMORE this time and let it soak in a 200 degree water/dye and the ole girl wasnt having any part of it ! So i mixed up a gun full of 383 green and a ladder and shot the awning in the rolled up position for today gona rain again this afternoon and it look just fine so tomorrow i will try to squirt the rest of it !

Since COACHGEO had to have camo netting or we would have never herd the end of it ! SO I dug and scrounged and pilferd and found him some camo netting and hung it on my PAINTED 383 GREEN AWNING ! And as far as dye goes in my book if you want to make tiedye t-shirts in the kitchen sink and go follow the GRATEFUL DEAD thats fine but if you want to change colors PAINT IT !!!!

Atleast i finally turned it green ! I was beginning to wonder if the day would ever come and ive got enough camo to cover the box and awning but it would be a pain to get it up their and it would block my solar panels! oh and any idea what O W W V stenciled on the camo net cover would stand for?
