die nylon

[faca]

Hello perhaps this is not the corret place to put this threat but cna anybody helps me.
I always find good items like bags or rucksacks but in bright color so which should be the correct way to die the fabric to brown, green or black color.
Thanks.

Nylon is typically factory dyed in giant vats with industrial-type machinery... and is rather difficult to do on your own.

But you can.

I've dyed nylon, although it works best if using black dye. The trick is to boil the item in the dye. Unfortunately, on most things, the stitching thread did not accept the dye. (Must be polyester or something.)

Check Tie-Dye suppliers, they claim to have dyes that will dye nylon.
