Dyeing Sunbrella, anyone attempted this?

[patrscoe]

Has anyone successfully dyed Sunbrella? I am looking to change our off white binimi and mainsail sock to a tan color and looking to accomplish this without replacing and redoing all the Sunbrella.

I have read some previous posts but as of yet, never heard of anyone attempting this. I understand that Sunbrella has issues with dyeing, especially from a light color to a dark color. I did hear that if you boil the fabric, and then provide the dye, and then set the dye, etc... it may work.

Any successful projects?

Thanks
Patrick

Patrscoe, Sunbrella fabric will not accept dye. What makes Sunbrella long-lasting and fade resistant is also what prevents it from accepting dye. Its like a carrot where the color (orange in this case) is all the way through. A dyed fabric is like a radish, where the color is only on the outside.
