This is the first summer we have owned our boat, and one of the things we wanted to do was change the teal canvas color. The local canvas shop wanted $12k for new canvas. Just for a color change, that was too much money to justify.
Considering that artists paint on canvas all the time, I asked a friend who owns a canvas and awning shop about the idea. He said absolutely fine, use acrylic paint and brush it on to get deep into the fibers.
One weekend, $100, and some child labor we have a new canvas color. It came out great and we couldn't be more pleased. I have attempted to attach before and after pictures....
