<p>You are probably correct about the vehicle paint. I was so excited a few years ago to discover a colouring system developed by a silk painter here in Australia that is non toxic. She was aware of impact of dyes and paints on her health. I experimented with it in millinery and works well on fabric and all straws. This Cream Pari and cream silk was transformed using this colouring system. Her product has a combo of properties of a paint and a dye. Great to use knowing no reactions. Tinting…</p>

<p>Oh please don't ever use paints and sprays for cars. They are toxic! They are not meant to be used in products such as hats that are worn close to skin and eyes. They can cause an allergist reacción. A manufacturer should always pay attention to the safety of the product and think about the end user.</p> <p></p>

<p>I have never thought of using car paint!  Does this make the hat stiffer than normal? I may need to experiment. I know I have some tractor spray on hand. I wonder how popular John Deere Green, or Allis Chalmers orange would be. LOL</p> <p> </p>

<p>I use Jacquard Acid dyes all the time on parisisal capelines and hoods ( I buy them in natural in bigger quantities and a friend brings them on the plane, so I save on shipping fees). I also dye over colored sinamay at  times to match a shade if needed. Never had a problem with the dyes, easy to use and mix.</p>

<p>The jaquard acid dyes work really well with feathers and you get a really good dimension and shading, ( leave some in the saucepan for a shorter space of time) but I have not been able to get a good dye on sinamay because of the pre sized ones I buy.</p> <p>I have mixed colours to get a blue violet and a  deep emerald green, that I could not match any where. I love dying my feathers  !</p> <p></p>

Hello Ladies, Thanks for the info. Please Sister Olu which of the Dylon dyess do you use. I have been using jacqurd dyes but the quantity they sell for are small and expensive. But bought some dylon and not used it yet. Will be grateful for some info into its types and method of usage.<br /> Thanks<br /> Bridget
