Default Using Oracover to cover a canopy?

I have a smoked caopy that I would like to cover. Is it possible to use Oracover (aka profilm I think) To colour it? Or do I have to use some other method, like painting?
Thanks,
Robert.

Robert:

Just scuff it with some 600 paper and paint it.

To get film to comply with the curvature of the canopy you'll get the temperature very close to the point where the canopy will collapse.

Painting is easy and SO much safer.

Bill.
