Painting Fabric of Spear Shack

[Woody Erickson]

I know elwood has done this. Which brand have you (or anyone else) had success with?

After googling, I found 'Dupli-Color' and 'Simply Spray' in a rattle can.

I guess my biggest concern would be whether the stuff needs to be in a heated garage/basement/living room/etc for it to cure.

Maybe a bigger concern would be whether I would have to turn the fabric inside out. How many times would I end up tipping over from the fumes if I were standing inside it?

i used the dupli color and got it from an auto parts store I did mine in a heated gargage aand just did the outside at first (the ends of the house were red) but after seting it up outside the color still came thru so I sprayed the inside as well. I wore a painting mask that I have had for painting othe roil based stuff with and as always proper ventilation is needed I would not paint it in the house or even in the basement because of the fumes to others and fire hazzards that could be.

I sprayed the inside and set my Mr. heater in it for a few hours and that really helped cure the paint

hope this helped

I'll do it in the garage, then place the heater in it.

Thanks for the info.

Oh yea a couple of light coats is way better than one thick one
