What kind of paint would be best for a "denier polyester" pop-up tent canopy?

by best_tents on September 5, 2011

I am looking to paint a large logo on a 10′ X 10′ folding tent canopy & am wondering if anyone knows a good paint that will last the sun and folding for at least 2 or more years on denier polyester?

Thanks in advance.

Go to your local Arts and Crafts store.

We use this for my sons BoyScout Troops tents.

You only need to be concerned with the fact that you require both ACRYLIC paints and a type of Deco art fabric medium spray for almost any polyester (denier included).

How you apply the Acrylic paint is up to you. Personally, I prefer to airbrush it on, but others prefer to use a fine brush instead. Either way, you’ll accomplish your goal.

The Deco art fabric medium spray, or similar product, will produce a washable and permanent surface to paint and adhere on. Additionally, it will protect from UV and weather related (use and abuse) fading.

There is none.

If you want to try, get some fabric paint. I doubt it will adhere to the poly.
