Northwing...Tinting your own canopy is a challenge. It's not normally something one ought to try at home. Same kind of deal as sewing your own props. Not recommended.

But if you really want to do it...Take a carefully made mixture of paint. I noramally use black, but sometimes silver, red or whatever. Then will no preperation whatsoever...I paint the canopy. If you paint it on the outside it looks like crap. So......I paint it on the inside. Runs don't matter, use can use a brush or broom or your finger. Anything works. I've even done it with an old rag. Just apply the paint. When you look at it from the outside it looks like a professional did it. If I use a light color like silver or red or light blue, I'll apply the base color and then spray a darker color (black) over it. It gives it even more depth. Pretty cool.

The other thing I like about painted canopy is you can hide stuff under there!?!?!??!!?

Thanks
