If you re looking for a durable water proof and fire resistant awning fabric that is energy efficient then a vinyl polyester composite fabric might be right for you.
Paint polyester awning.
It can be a bit tricky to paint your awning a lighter color.
Set out paints fill spray bottle with water set out containers and cover work area.
Prepare the work area.
We normally do three coats allowing each one to dry for 4 hours.
Spread polyester fabric over surface.
You can normally go with a darker color to cover up faded fabric.
Another example of a coating based outdoor fabric is acrylic coated polyester commonly used for boat covers grill covers outdoor umbrellas and awnings.
Cover a large flat work surface with cling film to protect it from paint splatter.
Our favorite method of applying the waterproofing solution is through a spray bottle on the mist setting.
If you re going with this approach it may take a couple layers of paint and we recommend a clear code above the fabric to seal the surface.
Colors like black crimson or steel blue are fantastic for refreshing the look of a dated awning fabric.
If you want to paint your awning darker this is the easiest option.
Natural fiber awnings need to be replaced more often than their acrylic or vinyl or vinyl polyester composite counterparts.
