New rear shade cloth?

I just bought a rear hatch cover from an on-line seller, but the cloth is faded (which happened on my original). Does anyone know if you can replace the cloth?

On my 91 camaro, it's a heavy cloth that rolls up like a shade on your window at home. When it pulls out, it attaches to the rear hatch to cover any items in the back.

they make spray on fabric dye or paint whatever you want to call it, get it in black and spray away, its easy, cheap and will look new, seen one that was done like that and it looked real good...

Okay, I never thought about that...but that would be a good idea. Did you remove the fabric from the bar/roller, or mask everything off and spray carefully?

o.k. , its just like an old fashion window shade . un-roll it all the way , lay out flat , ( i had a wooden floor util. trailer with gaps between the 1x6s ) clean , i used liquid laundry soap in a hand spray bottle and a med. soft brush , rinse , scrub & rinse several times with out soap . make sure all soap residue is gone . hang up and dry . make sure it is very dry , then spray . worked for me . good luck .
