Most paints don't flex enough for use on fabric, and I would bet it wouldn't stick well to nylon in particular. I think dye would be your best bet, ACID DYES in particular. (Do not use RIT from the grocery store!)

Go to http://www.prochemical.com/index2.htm and look around there. They are the big name in dye, and were probably around when God was making color choices. Make sure that the ones you are looking for SAY they are for use with nylon, and pick your color.

*****Before you order, you will need to know the DRY WEIGHT of the pack fabric (empty, of course), and buy enough for that weight.*****

Follow the directions, keep kids and pets away while you're dyeing, wear old clothes, don't try to take shortcuts, make sure all your wife's belongings are out of the room before starting the project. THE DYE IS PERMANENT on nearly anything it touches. Don't use food utensils for mixing or handling.

If you need info, talk to the people at PRO. Tell them you've never done this before. IT IS OKAY TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
