Sunbrella Material

[sanjuan23]

Okay possibility that this is a dumb question! Really want the bimini to match the boat. Only problem it is only 1 season old from Johnson. So does anyone have any idea if the Sunbrella material could be dyed? Or would that just really screw up the benefits of the material. :confused:

I do not think I will dye! If I were you, I would just pull the material off the frame and take it to a canvas shop to have it replaced with matching material. I recently had my bimini re-made and it was around $200.

I pretty much assumed this was the case but thought why not throw it out there and see if it's possible.

Good source for the fabric if need be.

No you cannot dye it. It is a solution dyed fabric made with an acrylic fiber that will not absorb the die.

Is there anything you don't know? :D How about the rolling friction of my BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's?

Just messing with you... But - man... you sure seem to know a lot.:headbang:

Ha, ha.......jack of all trades I guess. I have had all kinds of different jobs and I know this one because my current venture deals with textiles and we use Sunbrella as a raw material for a few of our finished goods. Great stuff BTW.
