Viponds Tautflex DIY is a perfect way to restore old canvas awnings that are in reasonable condition. It’s ideal to paint over old canvas blinds that look out dated and to modernise to a colour that suits the rest of the building. It can be tinted to match any paint colour. Some customers have matched it to their Colorbond gutters in colours such as Colorbond Woodland Grey. Other ideas are to match it up to the same colour as the window frame or Colorbond fence often in colours like Colorbond Paperbark.
When rejuvenating old canvas awning that have stripes through them Viponds Canvas Block Out Undercoat is required if wanting to paint a white or light grey shade on top. If dark colours such a Colorbond Ironstone or Colorbond Monument are your final colours a canvas blockout undercoat is not required. An extra coat of the same colour may be required, however, if the stripes can be seen after applying three thin coats.

Viponds Tautflex DIY is a versatile paint designed for various flexible surfaces. This water-based formula adheres well to materials like vinyl, leather, polyester and cotton.
For optimal application of Viponds Tautflex DIY, the first coat should be applied sparingly to seal the surface, ensuring the paint remains on top of the canvas and does not saturate it. The best tool for this is a 10mm nap roller, used without excessive paint and in a crisscross pattern.
Subsequent layers can be applied more liberally to achieve the desired opacity. Although a brush can be used, it should not press the paint into the surface but lightly over it in the same crisscross pattern to avoid making the canvas stiff and difficult to handle.
