Outdoor spray paint i recommend rust oleum painters touch i used about 3 5 cans for my rug but it will depend on your rug and the design you choose note.

Dye an outdoor rug.

Just prior to dyeing add several large potfuls of boiling water which will give your rug a much better color result. It started to fade considerably from the. I took the rug outside laid it on an old shower curtain dissolved the dye and put it into an empty windex container. Practice the different colors on a piece of white paper until you are able to match the color of your indoor outdoor carpet.

Mine is an ozite 6 x 8 rug in bark it cost 12 bucks and i had a 2 dollar rebate. Then i sprayed the dye all over the rug until the color was fairly even. Paint that will work in outdoor applications. You might also want to test the dye on a small area of carpet which isn t normally visible.

After a few months of having the rug outside i would not recommend the fluorescent rust oleum paint shown in the middle of the photo below. Different carpet dye sticks can be used together to blend into different shades and colors. The more synthetic in the fabric the less dye it will absorb. Different fabrics do absorb the dye differently.

Add the amount of liquid or predissolved dye required for your rug. If you are using a powder dye predissolve the dye in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir the dye bath with a wooden stirring stick to evenly spread the dye. Using a spray bottle is an interesting idea for applying dye to large items.
