Shok,
Do a search under the jets forum for CANOPY and it will come up with a few threads on how to dye a canopy. Also if you do a search for RIT or RIT DYE on all of RCU it will come up with some other threads that arent in jets.

Use a small scrap piece to check and see if the water is too hot before dipping the canopy. If it is too hot it will melt, shrink and disfigure it. Even if it is not super hot it will still dye the canopy it will just take a little longer. Worked great on my Yellow starfire.
