They ordered the line for a number of canopies they have made for the military, and may still have some. My friend and I have 4 canopies between us with black lines. Very cool. But to answer your question.... Most fabric and lines are just not going to take dye very well. You will be lucky if you get a very light shade of the color dye you use.

The black mesh is available, call vertigo and ask them where they get it. Quite frankly, if the color of the lines is the difference between getting away and not, you are already caught. Cya.
