Any One ever tried to Fabric Dye a Tent??

As per the title really. I picked up a brand new ( Argos brand I think ) Pro Action Hike Lite 1 person tent from a Car Boot for £4.
It really is an excellent little piece of Kit. Only problem is its Orange! I want to use it for a bit of Stealth Wild Camping and would prefer it to be Black/ Green.
Has any one ever tried to Fabric Dye a tent? Thought I might just machine dye the outer and then reproof it. Is this feasible/ possible?

The other option would be just to use the Inner with a Tarp over the top!

Paint it maybe, you'll certainly not dye the fabric.

Think Inner only with a Tarp over is the way to go! Inner is Grey and Black and a Tarp over will give me a bit more Covered outside space.

I'd be worried painting might make it less breathable, risking CO poisoning

Spend another £6 on the project and you'll be sorted.

CO poisoning? Surely it's just the outer you'd be painting?

[Artie Fufkin]

I'd be more concerned with the paint cracking when you fold it up and all those little flakes messing up the inside of your drybags.
Just a thought?

Or your lungs

Whoa - that seems just a wee bit extreme

Scrim-netting FTW!
