Got mine coming too. Ordered mine about 3-4 months ago. Sort of makes me mad that they dropped the price by $10 bucks. I paid $26. Should be here by friday. Will give it a review when it gets here.

Hubby wants to know if we can spray paint or somehow change the color of this tarp to make it 'not white.'

Any ideas?

I doubt it would work as the tarp is waterproof, but you couls try getting some cloth paint from a fabric store and give it a try. Other then that i have no idea. Sorry.

The one I got last year had a very slight greenish tinge. If you're hoping for green green you'll be disappointed... BUT for $20 you get a very usable tarp that can be setup in a "winter" mode if you add center tie-outs. Here's mine:

(yes there's a hammock in there too)

I ordered one on Sunday and paid $29. It shipped yesterday and should be here tomorrow. Being new at this I thought I would start off with a larger tarp till I learned what I really need.

I don't personally own one but I believe they are PU coated on one side...I'm not 100% thought. If that is the case I know I can airbrush on the non coated side and it works. You must heat set it though. It can be tricky..just a light heat setting with a iron or using a heat gun (from a distance). I bet there is a dye out there that would work but I would think that would be tedious and messy...
