Paint for Canopy Question
What type of paint should I use for my DIY canopy?
Water based or Oil based? Spray paint or regular paint? I was going to paint the outside of the canopy black to match the stand and the inside of the canopy white to reflect the light better. Does this sound right? I've heard others do this, just wanna make sure though. Thanks |

let it sit 3 days before using it so that it can harden...

Krylon is a great paint . Stands up to over spray, water drops , and moisture real well.
