doh =( i have heard of ppl spraying vests ect how effective is this?

Cordura is really really hard to dye any colour as it is inpregnated with wax, the only thing that will dye will be all the webbing and mesh bits, you could then darken it to near black with black krylon but use light sprays as if too thick it'll crack and flake.

We used to dye our combats for certain theatres - doesn't really work though as the materials used are too "tough" if that makes sense and still used to be DPM although very much darker - either sell/swap it or Krylon.
