I have patio curtains that have faded from sun. They are store bought.

Store bought with large grommets for the rods. The curtain looks like poliester in it with dark brown fabric around the entire curtain. What kind of paint would I use ? Thanks

I would suggest a dye meant for polyester, like this one, which is available in several colors: https://smile.amazon.com/Rit-DyeMore-Advanced-Polyester-Acrylic/dp/B00U2IXMIW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525376659&sr=8-1&keywords=fabric+dye+for+polyester -

Exterior patio curtains? Probably polyester and very fine rattan or grass cloth of some type. If they are, you could use any paint that can be used on canvas...check home supply stores-paint dept and even where they have their outdoor stuff. -

I onced painted a white lace polyester shower curtain green using craft paint, it turned out beautiful. Today I would probably use textile medium with the paint. The paint really gave the lace some extra body. -

I would dye it with Rit Dye, DyeMore is for synthetics. I don't like to use my washer so I use a big rubbermaid tub, and of course really hot water. they have lot of colors, and formulas to make any color you want. https://www.ritdye.com/color-formulas/ -
