Rit Dye Canopy...
I've used the Rit dye tinting technique before with good results. I just stuck the entire canopy in a bucket with full strength black Rit dye and left it there overnight. The canopy was completely darkened with a nice, smooth tint all over. I then attached the canopy with RC-56 and it lasted for quite a while....maybe because the plastic was of the "right" material, or maybe because the tint was on both the inside and the outside? I never did get any raw fuel on it - so I can't say if it would have affected it. I can say that there are several different types of plastics that get used to make canopies - and some won't take the dye process very well - if at all. I tried in vain to get some side windows on a Cherokee I was building to tint - and they simply wouldn't take the dye.
