Is it possible to dye a black/blue roof to red?
If so, what price figure am i looking at, and how durable is it?

I thought you may have to bleach it white.... then dye it red!!

it would be hard to get the blue to red!
I wonder how long it will take people to notice this...

Sounds like a nightmare if you ask me but im sure theres a way, ive been trying to find a decent way of dying mine black that leaves it looking natural but as yet no luck.

I used this to dye light grey carpets black, but it came out very dark blue. Covers and lasts well though. Never got around to the roof as it would have been too messy - everything will need masked - including you.
