I'm looking for a good paint for nylon. What brand should I use?
Question:I want to black-out a 'rip-stop' tent in order to develop photographs outdoors, on the hills.
Thanks
Answers:
I don't think paint will work. Instead, overlay the tent with 6 mil black plastic.
Why don't you just carry a sheet of black poly (Visqueen) with you to cover the tent while you develop. It is light weight and you don't have to ruin a perfectly good tent.
Most paints would probably "crack" on fabric, i.e. emulsion etc.
I found this link from a kite-maker who suggests using Dylon dyes to dye the fabric. http://www.akg.cwc.net/dying.txt...
Not sure it would have a "blackout" effect, though. Good luck!
Why don't you use a blackout bag instead?
Ther's an example of one for sale on ebay.co.uk at the moment, item 230077795875
