Disclaimer
Please note: 3DForma.nl is not responsible for a different color result.
Always test first! After all, dyeing is always an experiment and unfortunately may not turn out the way you would like.
Color
Paint mixes with the existing color(s) of the fabric.
If the garment you are painting is white or off-white, you should be able to achieve a corresponding color.
If your garment already has a color, your only option is to over-dye it with a darker color, and because the paint will mix with the existing color, a different result must be considered.
Patterns and logos
If the garment you are dyeing has a pattern or logo, the color you use will mix with the existing color(s) in the fabric and create new colors.
Patterns and logos remain visible even if you dye the fabric in very dark color.
Coating
The fabric you want to dye may have a coating. You should think of waterproof, stain-resistant, wash-and-wear, permanent press and wrinkle-resistant finishes.
This cannot be seen with the naked eye and is often not mentioned on labels. If the fabric has a coating, the dye will not/not pick up properly and thus the fabric will not color or will color only slightly. It is recommended to wash a new fabric or garment in warm water and detergent before dyeing. This will help remove any finishes that may interfere with color absorption, but this will not fix true coatings.
Bleach stains and sun damage
Sun and bleach damage the fabric, making it very difficult to dye. Damaged fibers are not always visible to the naked eye. It is almost impossible to achieve an even color when fibers are damaged. The dye is likely to stain.
