Message: Hi I have a tent made of 190T polyester fabric with waterproof PU coating and am wondering if I would be able to dye it as I am sick of the colour. Thanks.

No, you can't. Unfortunately, it is completely impossible to dye anything that is waterproof. You can't even paint it with fabric paints, because the water-resistant coating will resist all dyes and paints.

You will have to put up with that color until you can buy a new tent. It might be worth looking for a previously-used tent that you like better.

(Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
