Restoring Black Color to Faded Convertible Top (Canvas)

[fcastro]

Hey guys,



Damn I love this web site so much to read and learn :laugh:



Anyways I have a 91 convertible camaro. The top in made out of canvas and I have been sealing it with Ragtopp (I can vouch for this stuff) for over a year now. I would like to know what advice you guys had to offer about recoloring or dying the color back. The top is black but well as I am sure you can all figure out the sun has somewhat faded her. I have had the car in a garage since I have owned it except for the last year.



I read someone recommend Rit Dye just wondering if this was the best solution out there? Jcwhit use to have something a few years back but its no longer in there catalog.



thanks in advance!

`You\`d probably want to stick with a true vinyl dye... try Eastwood or some other specialty suppliers`

Hey Jim thanks for the reply. Actually my ragtop is stedfast canvas and not vinyl. Vinyl dye is not recommended on canvas.



I have been searching high and low and so far have only found a product called Renovo Fabric Soft Top Reviver. Its not cheap (40 a liter on amazon) and its actually made in europe. Crazy to think no companies here would have this sort of product.
