Thanks for the info chip .

I am not aware of Sharpies being available in the UK, but I've printed out the webpage and I'll give it to my contact to see if he can find them or an equivalent product for me.

Thanks again.

I have a spin with a logo painted on it with an air brush. I think it is just dye, but could be some kind of water color. or acrylic paint. for a one color logo should do the trick. magic markers have solvents in them and you may end up with a logo shaped hole.

try silk screen ink and an air brush. multi color, high dollar effect.

you might be able to tape off the design and use a spray can like krylon. test on scrap spin. fabric first. also paint pens come with different types of ink to test. sharpie magic markers fade radically.

Just got this response - finally- from DYLON UK:

[color:"purple"] Thank you for your recent e-mail.



We do have fabric paint and pens but these are only suitable for washable fabric that must first be washed and dried. The product is then applied and left overnight to dry before heat sealing. This is usually with a hot iron and a cotton cloth although a hair dryer can be used.



I would imagine that the fabric has been treated in some way or another with a type of finish. This may be waterproofing, stain resistance, mould & mildew protection etc. Any type of finish prevents the fabric paints adhering properly and so would not hold when wet. For this reason I would not recommend using our products but of course you may wish to try a sample area of fabric to check for the results.

What a great name for someone working for a dye company!

Despite her scepticism I'm going to give it a go on a piece of spare RipStop and see how it works out.

I'll let you know what happens......
