Blind Troubles
 

I have a blind that faded out really bad and hasa shine to it now,instead of throwing i wanted to maybe spray it with something or maybe use mud, its in good working condition, any ideas??

RE: Blind Troubles
 

try a dark, matte gray spray paint, and try to spray it faintly and evenly all over it....

There is a soap / laundery detergent out on the market ( forgot the name of it ) I think it might be called " Nu - Camo " or something like that it's used for hunting clothes but you might be able to put this soap / detergent in a 5 gl. bucket and some water and sponge it on your blindas you would wash a car.
Another name could be" Camo - Restore "if that doesn't work theres always spray paint.

I fear you are out of luck. The laundry soap won't bring color that's gone back, especially to this extreme. When it fades out, it's gone. You may as well try something, right? It's no good as it is. Spray it and see what happens. It's gonna stink, though.

Spray paint it and start saving up for a Double Bull Matrix 360!;)

SPRAY IT AND IT WILL BE FINE AS LONG AS YOU USE GOOD COLORS.

before you go about rattle canning your blind you might try this trick I use to revive faded camo clothing. it wont revive the camo back to original but will darken the faded colors enough to make the camo useable.

take the fabric skin of the blind and wash in cold water with no detergent but add some black fabric dye but not too much maybe one or two dye tablets. then rinse twice with cold water allow it to dry completely. if its not darkened enough for ya repeat the treatment untill its darkened enough. good luck

Get you a Double Bull Blind, and the fading, shining, non-performing blinds will be a thing of the past.

Deer dont see color anyway so what difference does it make. Id say keep on using it, make sure you balend it in with some goood cover in a nice shady spot.

RE: Blind Troubles
 

just cover it with some good live foliage while out there. thats what I would try until it gets too much work. then maybe paint or buy another one.

RE: Blind Troubles
 

Try scrubbing it with a wire brush or maybe some steel wool before you spray it. That should break up some of the shine and maybe help keep it
from coming back so fast.

That's my suggestion

Thanks for the ideas guys, I will try to see what I can do. Hopefully I can get one more season out of it and then pull the pin on a DB.
