Mine has not faded. I love it but it has to be rolled back in if the winds get to high. If not it becomes un level and is not easy to get back level. I only roll it out about half when I am cooking under it and its raining. I love it, it serves the purpose for me, thanks.

I don't know. I am sure it isn't acrylic. You will need to check the description given. Sorry.

Hello There. It is polyester and the color has not faded yet. There has been complaints about the arms breaking, I did not pay attention to that and... one of the arms snapped after only 2 months of use.

It looks and feels like canvas..................arm broke(defect) after 3 months. Was told they are correcting the problem. I was sent botharms in response to our complaint. I would not buy this awning.

So far, the polyester has maintained its color. I have that for about 8 months.

I agree with your comment. I don't know but I retract it when not in use. My awning is a very light color so any fade would be hardly notice-able. Darker colors would be more visible.

I don't know for sure what the fabric is. I live in Nebraska and it gets quite windy so I keep it rolled up often. Where the exposed side is has not shown any fading compared to the unexposed fabric. It is on the south side patio and gets a lot of sun. I got a solid color as I was also concerned with fading. Very happy, you do have to mount it high to have it over 7 foot when extended.

As far as the color of the fabric fading, the answer is no. I have no problems whatsoever with this product. It is more versatile than I had expected it to be for my use!

I doubt it... it's just acrylic paint. I used it on a t-shirt, and it flaked quite a bit. After more than a year, the paint is pretty faded from washing.

This is a matter of personal taste I think. Sometimes the pattern is so beautiful that it looks great no matter what it's made of. This particular shower curtain is a better quality polyester compared to some out there, but still it is polyester so...Here are some pros and cons regarding polyester vs. fabric shower curtains from my personal experience: Advantages of Polyester: easy to wash, no ironing needed, doesn't fade, dries quickly, very durable Disadvantages: can look cheap depending on the pattern, quality of the polyester weave, and context in which it is placed. Advantages of cotton fabric shower curtain: Can look more luxurious depending on the quality of the fabric Disadvantages: Usually requires ironing, can fade faster from washing, can look cheap if poor quality cotton is used You can always try a cotton/polyester blend which will incorporate the features of both types of fabric.

I use it outdoor it is polyester no paper so water proof , make sure the surface is clean and flat , glass work best however I use on plastic , painted metal and wood as well, clean the surface with little alcohol to remove stain and fat and it should hold on as well , my location is in shadow so not sure how long the text will last in full sun

My fabric is white so I'm not worried about fading. I think the fabric is polyester so staining hasn't been an issue.

I have used this several times and the color does fade but I wouldn't say that it fades out completely.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good.But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks. Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well.

unfortunately all Dark and colors fade when washed. No matter which detergent one uses. using a laundry detergent for colors like clorox 2 helps slow the fading

I used the gel stain to re-do the cabinet through out my home. I also used the water based poly as my top coat. It's not very thick. I had to use a few coats to get a good finish. I probably could have used a few more. There was no problem with the product. Just make sure you java gel is good and dry before you apply the poly acrylic

Since it's a stain is will always transfer a little color in the first few washes. It will fade pretty quickly too. I was amazed that it had completely washed out in 2 weeks. You will get the best results if you put it on hair that has already been lightened.

It is a wrinkle free, medium weight polyester fabric with the look of linen. It is not linen. I have never tried the dyeing a polyester fabric.

There are a number of interesting you tube videos that are very helpful. However, the color and the type of fabric that you are dying is critical. The closer that the fabric that you are dying is too 100 % natural fibers, like cotton or linen, the better the dye will take. The closer the color is the white the better it will take. I doubt that you can dye polyester. I think that the faded levis that I dyed are a good example. After dying, the blue part of the levi looked blue, but the white parts (these were very faded) on the seams etc. were almost as dark as the blue parts. The inside part of the pockets (white, but not cotton) came out a faded light blue and the orange stitching looked very orange. I hadn't even realized that the levis had orange stitching.

the 100% cotton will fade especially if you ues any laundry detergent with "brightener" will also shrink a little. recommend the rip stop poly blend. they too will bade with time especially with "brighteners"

It says it's an advanced hybrid polymer but I can't find anything on the packaging that says acrylic. It does warn not to put it in contact with plastic.

Most manmade fibers such as polyester and acrylic and nylon are very stain-resistant, and if these brushes use a water-based stain (which I assume they do since other reviews have said that they will bleed if used next to damp acrylic paint), the chances of them adhering to polyester seem pretty low. In fact, the ONLY dye which will affect polyester is what is called a "disperse dye". This is not it.
