Howdy, folks. I recently purchased a brown nylon NATO (pictured below to the right of the same NATO in black) and would like to slightly darken it. Any advice regarding what to apply to the brown nylon to slightly darken it is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Hey Mad Dog, I bet shoe polish would work. There may be other leather tricks too.

 

That is as near as damn it to the Dunkin brown. I thought you would be happy

 

I have darkened a light nylon Nato by soaking it in black tea. Worked great. Not sure if it would work with one as dark as yours, but couldn't hurt.

 

Well, you just caused an epiphany by mentioning Dunkin' [coffee]...since I'm well versed in coffee stains due to years of academy training regarding spilling Dunkin' [coffee] all over the galaxy...I could apply Dunkin' [coffee] to the brown nylon to slightly darken it...I bet it would work.

 

A valid (as well as spectacular) point! I hadn't thought of that.

 

So what's going on in that pic? Does junior dude have his hands in the mouth of a farm animal? It sure looks like it! That's so nutty!

 

Have you tried putting it in the shade?

 

Well...yes...and it looks good [slightly darkened] in the shade. It's so weird...that "shade" of brown on that brown nylon NATO varies greatly according to the light conditions...most of the time it appears too light.

 

@Mad Dog ......SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!? You get ONE (count them..........I am assuming shoe polish on nylon was a joke) serious suggestion......as stupid as it may have been...........and the ONLY post you don't Like (you Like millions of posts a day!) is the one that actually tried to help you?!?!?!?
Do I have to be a mod or the owner of amazing watches to have you throw me a freaking bone!

Kidding (sort of) you know.....

 

Wilco...giving it the old college try as we speak [type]. We'll see what pans out.

 

You are just so freakin crazy. Whats not to like

 

Can't wait to see the results!

 

LMAO

 

If ever I get to the States, we're catching up even if I have to drink Dunkin and go to Hooters

 

Dude! I missed your post! I'm very excited right now...too much caffeine! I went back and "liked" your post! You're a flipping genius! YAY!

 

Keep looking at the pic of the strap in the coffee and cant stop from laughing. Brilliant!!!

 

Sometimes the best answers are right under our noses! (that's if it actually works....)
