Mesh shade top

[jamesrw30]

So does anyone know if you can paint one of the mesh shade tops? I have a buddy offering me a blue one for free and I would prefer black. It's hard to turn down a free one but the blue just doesn't do much for me. Not sure if it's a master top brand or what.

Maybe black dye I doubt paint would stick

Go ahead and paint it. The worst that happens is you hate the results and have to kill it with fire.

That's a valid point. I hadn't thought about a dye.

If it is the same fabric as Spidershade, then Rustoleum fabric paint will stick for a year or two.

Fabric paint might work but it might be tough to get in the tiny holes.

You could ask the members here to donate $0.50 to raise the $75 that the new ones cost.

I thought about starting a go fund me. Also, might be tough to get it in the tiny holes is what she said.

I'll find out the brand and do some digging on what the material definitely is.

Duplicolor vinyl dye if it’s plastic feeling mesh

Wash it real well with with some 409 or other degreaser (detergent) first

Thank you. I'll talk to him and see what I can find out about brand/material.

With these mesh style fabric you need to make sure you use a roller . It's the only way to get full coverage on the mesh. If you spay or dye the mesh it will just fall through the holes and do nothing for you.

I had a blue mesh sunsahde before and it kind of blends into the blue skies. I would try it out before painting it.

Decided to say to heck with it and ordered one from spiderwebshade while they had their memorial day sale going on. Should be here tomorrow
