Fabric Spray Paint? Problem Solved(ish)! Howdy Folks! A little over a year ago I purchase hundreds of dollars worth of USGI Surplus UCP gear in hopes of walnut dying it. UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) is practically worthless as far as a camouflage pattern in my neck of the woods. Having had great success walnut dying UCP ACU clothing, I believed it would work as well with Cardura Nylon. Well, everything came out a very dark red-brown. Definitely an improvement over UCP, it was (in my humble opinion) too dark for my Autumn and Winter woods (which was precisely why I wanted to dye it in the first place).
This video will chronical all the experiments I made to lighten the dark red-brown color. My final experiment worked the best, so I decided to use that technique on EVERYTHING!
