Can I paint an outdoor canvas umbrella?
+5
I left my market umbrella on the deck too long. It is unevenly faded. Is there a waterproof spray paint I can use to make it look almost new? Thanks for any suggestions.

Go to http://www.simplyspray.com and order the outdoor fabric paint.
That’s a good question.
I have heard there’s fabric spray paint for indoor furniture but I’ve never tried it. I have used craft paints with the fabric additive to repaint faded garden flags successfully but you can see evidence of the paint application as the nylon polyester fabric is not as transparent after a paint application.
Yes you can! I do it all the time. As a matter of fact, the one I bought just 3 weeks ago, has already started to fade. Here is how.

A fabric spray paint would probably do the job quite well...
Just take into account the amount the paint cost. Christmas Tree Shop (a chain) has great umbrellas for $35.99 right now.
