Title: Canvas paint
Post by: jswaggerking on September 29, 2015, 03:36:25 PM
Hey dudes,

My camper has a white canvas rood (stupid), i have found that actually painting the canvas is by far cheaper then getting a new roof.

Now, has anyone done it before?
If you have, what paint did you use and did you have success with getting through the waterproofing?
Where to buy the paint and suggested colours to reduce glair and heat.

 Pic for attention

Thankyou

Had to do this a few years ago to help someone out with their semi permanent canvas annexe. Successfully used Dulux Weathershield and Bondcrete 4l to 1l.

Didn't last forever, but got them out of trouble for 18months

I painted some canvas roller blinds on a home I renovated about 16 years ago and they are still being used. I sprayed them to get uniform coverage.
The paint was from a company called Vipond Paints and it is really flexible. If I remember correctly the paint supplied to me was used for jumping castle's and taught liner curtains on trucks.
They were in Sydney ay the time and the base paint was able to be timted.

Good luck I hope I helped.
