I have just jet washed my canopy on my 20 and shock horror the black has peeled showing it was painted it was blue now I have a patchy black and blue canopy and it looks awful any idea what I could do is there a paint out there, I cant find any on the wed.
I used this stuff on my canopy. Although it says pvc it suited mine which is coated canvas. Rather expensive but it did produce a good result. If you do consider it do check the coverage though. It does not go that far!
Not much use to you now but I would advise against jetwashing any canopy wether painted or not, best to manually scrub (using soap flakes not detergent if vinyl), they last a lot longer, jetwashing can take stitching out as well as stripping the top off vinyl, my old canopy is topgun which is supposed to be the best material to use but a pressure washer still messes it up.
And when it's nice and clean a spray with Autoglym vinyl care keeps it so supple, gave mine a soapy wash and spray with this before it's winter lay up under a tarp and on removal this week the canopy looks as good as new. It's good for rubber strakes and fenders and any other rubber fetish things you keep on the boat !!
