If you are going to use paint, here is some advice directly from customers that have used these and found them helpful:
- Apply a clear coat such as Super Frog Juice (www.superfrog.com/accessories.com)
Or
- Apply an exterior latex (water based) or acrylic (chemical based) paint first as a base color. You can even go to Home Depot or Lowes with a sample of the fabric and they can match it.
Or
- Use 1Shot Sign Painters Paint. This product can be purchased through various sites online including Amazon. There are numerous videos on application.
