Can an retractable awning be painted?
Question:I absolutely hate the color of our awning. It came with the house when we bought it and I thought it may be cheaper to paint it than replace it. It is a canvas type material. Has anyone tried this? What type of paint did you use? How did it look?
Answers:
It probably can be painted but will require a special paint. Go to an RV dealership, or a Camping World. Just about all RVs have a retractable awning (mine does) and that community should certainly know if you can and what type of paint should be used. It may be cheaper to just replace the fabric.
If it is canvas, it can probably be dyed. If it's vinyl, krylon has a new paint for plastic that may work. The worst that can happen is you will replace it with what you want if it doesn't work.
