just wondering has any one ever tried painting or airbrushing your hammock or tarp? dose it work or dose it distroy the hammock material? I am thinking about getting a clark nx 250 and will probibly get it used to save money but I am not a big fan of that color a little to much of that shade of green for my liking. any suggestions?

Neat idea. I have a buddy who does airbrushing. Ill have to ask him if he has ever done nylon. Airbrushed camo would be cool. I think it is the type of thing that would look better over time.

Breathability would be affected.

The other thing I'd worry about is that the fabric would flex and fold, but whatever you painted it with might not do as well.
I painted on some nylon JerryChairs I made ....... it chips off in time!

There are special flexible fabric paints available (vinyl based, I think). These are normally used for t-shirts.
How 'bout Tie Dye?

Try water resistant the paint (tiny micro spheres) would block some water
There was an Old Man with a owl,
Who continued to bother and howl;
He sat on a rail, And imbibed bitter ale,
Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.WOO
Hmmmmm.. a tie dye tarp could be interesting
