I would like to change the color of a top that I bought used to match my boat. Can it be done? What product do I use? I would like to go from white to brown. Thanks in advance

sell old bimini top

buy new bimini top.

if you try to dye it, the first time it rains, your interior will be streaked with dye.

Due to the nature of Sunbrella (if that is the fabric) fiber, the fabric will not absorb a dye. It would turn out to be a mixture of both colors and would bleed when it got wet.

Get an upholstery shop to sew a new cover out of Sumbrella fabric. Changing any fabric that is good for a bimini is not going to work.
Plan B is to get brown sunglasses.
