Awesome!, looking forward to seeing your pictures. Been wondering about this for a few years with my Springbar.

Won't get to it this year I don't think, but will eventually! Just so much to test out, getting dye to work, figuring out what the heck to use with the green to get a color I want, working around the waterproofing, finding someone who actually has an iota of artistic skill to do any actual figures or symbols (I can tape stripes myself thanksfully! I mean, if I use a yardstick. Maybe one with batteries)

Old thread but interesting. I've been dying some untreated canvas tarps and it's worked out pretty well so far. With a tent you'd have to remove the waterproofing. Not sure what they use but once you got rid of that you could either tie dye or tie bleach it.
