I'd be willing to dye it for you, but you can pick up a package of RIT dye at the grocery store or walmart for $2 and do it yourself in a small bucket. There's really nothing to it. Does that fabric have any durable water repellant on/in it? That would pretty much nuke the idea of using dye on it. I may have to pick up some white ripstop now and keep it around until the girls have another tie dye party. Of course that means I'd have to put a DIY silicone finish on it afterwards... how did I just start with a 5 minute dye job and then talk myself into huge, multi-step project? I gotta go shut up now.

That's a good point. Suppose I'd ought to just go grab a few packets. I'll post pics when it's done.

There's no DWR on it.

I noticed on my Digi Camo ripstop that if I used a pink nylon or fleece inner layer it showed through the Digi Camo VERY well. To the point of honestly making the camo pattern look pink from the outside.

Just FYI, I can confirm this, and that was on the WallyWorld coated digcamo ripstop that is somewhat thick. If you can get some thinner materials the results should be very pleasing.

I been gone for a few days and you guys took this to a new level or aproach anyway, hope ya'll come up with something really cool, I didn't think dying nylon was possible,or at least I never had any luck, post some pics if it works.
