Dyeing a bimini canvas?

[Gumbeaux]

Anyone dyed their bimini canvas? I think mine would look much better in black (and it would hide the mold)...
I understand that synthetics may not take dyes like RIT dye very well...and there are spray can dyes for canvas...

Any experience out there?

I would consider using the Renovo Restoration product. It worked great on my convertible http://toprenew.com/shop/renovo-auto-products/renovo-automotive-canvas-reviver/

I'd start with the Bimini boot before going all in on the top itself.

I was actually thinking of doing the same thing for my VeVe guidepost covers. Although they are already black, they have faded quite a bit over the years.

Post up your results when done!

I bought new black canvas covers for my faded and ripped VeVe guidepost covers. I think I got them on Ebay.

My factory bimini top was made out of a synthetic fabric so if I were to dye it I would use iDye Poly, http://www.jacquardproducts.com/idye.html . I haven't actually used this product but it would be the one I would try if I wanted to dye synthetic fabrics.

Here is a cheesy video of some girls dyeing items using the grill cooktop and a stainless steel pot,
