There’s some fabric spray paint I planned on using that has good reviewsI would try Rit dye before paint,
Have any pics?Ive put brown and green spray paint stripes across a tan backpack. Worked good. Wouldn't do it any sooner than a month before I wanted to use it though.
Agreed 100%bck in college we mass produced tshirts with the cheapest spraypaint we could find and stencils. i threw a few away a few months ago after i finally admitted they weren't ever going to fit again lol but the designs were still perfectly legible 15+ years later.
but i doubt deer notice your pack as much as you do. or at all.
I think I have that same pack. How did you quiet the fabric and zippers? I tried string wax on the zipper. Helped a little, but definitely wouldn't try to get in the pack if I suspected anything was anywhere near.It's not pretty but it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb now.
