Can't think of any reason fabric dye won't take to it.

Well, aside from the windows.

Standard method of dyeing cloth is put in in a bucket full of dye. Hope you have a spare bath...

You used to be able to get canvas paint, for tents, so if you can source some of that from a camping spares place

Mind you wonder if exterior wood paint, like what they use on sheds & fences etc work on cannvas

I did mine this weekend, went from blue to black. Do a search on e-bay for canvas paint and a company which sells all sorts of paint popped up. If the canvas is old though you need 2 of the big tins as it soaks in. But applies really nicely with a brush and roller and they do green as well. \:D/
