Rit All-Purpose Liquid Dye - Individual Colors

Turn "Universal" Pattern into Universally Effective Camo

Don't let the gray get you down. Rit All-Purpose Liquid Dye is the go-to solution for the tactical community to breathe new life into surplus gear. Whether you are looking to darken a faded ruck or completely transform standard-issue UCP/ACU pattern gear into a usable woodland or coyote colorway, this is the standard.

Best Uses for Surplus Gear

This "All-Purpose" formula is specifically designed to bond with Nylon, Cotton, and Wool—the three primary materials found in military surplus.

• Dyeing UCP/ACU: The most popular application. A bottle of Apple Green turns UCP into a highly effective digital jungle/tropical pattern (often called "Apple-UCP"). Dark Brown or Tan can shift the pattern toward a functional arid or coyote scheme.
• Restoration: Re-blacken faded tactical vests, plate carriers, and holsters that have been sun-bleached.
• Customization: Create custom loadouts and team colors without buying expensive new factory gear.

Which Dye Do I Need?

Rit All-Purpose (This Bottle): Best for Nylon web gear (Cordura), Cotton Canvas, and NYCO (Nylon/Cotton blend) Uniforms. This covers the vast majority of standard-issue surplus equipment.

Note: If you are dyeing 100% Polyester items, you will need Rit DyeMore for synthetics. Always check the tag on your gear first!

Pro-Tip for Dyeing Nylon Gear

For the best results on heavy nylon gear (like rucksacks and mag pouches), we recommend the Stovetop Method. Maintaining a high heat (just below boiling) helps the nylon fibers "open up" and accept the dye for a permanent, non-fading finish.
