It is actualy a bimini top but your description will get more attention.  I presure washed one with good results and then re-applyed water proofing with a spray. I have no idea if this is recommended, just that it worked for me.------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.

LOL,
Bikini, linguine , fettuccine. If it won't scrub clean with a vinyl cleaner, you can use a vinyl spray paint and get it looking acceptable. ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |

Tom Unless his bikini is made of vynil I wouldn´t use any paint at all...its probalby sunbrella or like fabric...the pressure wash I guess it´s gonna work... then the 3m scothguard is a nice product to give the fabric a water repelant coat... ------------- <a href="">1992 ski nautique |

You should take better care of your swimware. ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing." River Rat to Mole |

Yeah, it would need to be vinyl to use a paint like that.
If it is a fabric like sunbrella, maybe it could be dyed, but if the dye runs, guess where it drips. I'm sure there is some sort of paint for use on a fabric like sunbrella that would work at least for the short term. ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |

if you can't get it clean then try to re-dye it but then the spots might still be there too, just a thought. If you remove the ends on the braces, you should be able to slide off the fabric and through it in the washing machine. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |
