They said the stains would show through any dye they put on; even black dye. So I painted them with Jacquard red neopaque paint. They look great now and the stains do not show. I oversprayed with Scotchgard so they wouldn't get water stained again.Regina B Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377568746998756667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091952809418376877.post-85755131424386457142013-02-06T15:28:35.138-06:002013-02-06T15:28:35.138-06:00My gosh!
