Paint??

Postby Minerva » Sat Mar 05, 2011 11:45 pm

So I have this RRV (I think, I'm not the most knowledgeable on gear) and I want to paint it CB or a light tan. What will I need to paint it this color? And does anyone know what brands can give me the best results seeing as I am painting a fabric here.

Much appreciated :)

Krylon works. :/ Not really one for painting gear.

Might try fabric dye first...

Well see, I have this vest in OD that I picked up for really cheap and really would rather have it CB. Will krylon not flake?

I've krylon'ed several of my pouches, and it sticks very well. No flaking. Just remember to give it at least two coats because the fabric soaks it up pretty fast.
