bassNspear Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 hey guys,I am curious if any of you have tried to paint canvas to make the inside of your house darker. Im not sure if i want to attempt this or not, but i am wondering what the best way is to go about it if it is that i decided to do so.

chad austin Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've never done it but I would use a fabric dye unless the fabric is too thin and the light will still go through? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the clam 6800 you are talking about, just build a cover out of moving blankets, it will be warmer, it won't sweat, it will retain it's resale value, and it will be darker than fabic die or paint.It will be heavier though..

leech~~ Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have painted over DNR #'s when selling Porty's. I have used spray and brush but keep it light. Also, it may smell for a long time if doing the whole inside. If your going to do it I would do it now so it has a lot of time to dry and air out before use!
