Operation save my skirt

So, I find this really awesome orange dip dye skirt at goodwill that I just loved. I get it home and wash it and it gets orange dye spots all over the lighter part of the skirt... I did some google research and decided to get some Rid dye remover. Didn't work. It just made my whole wash room smell like old lady salon hair dye. Which took about 2 hours to air out... But, the Rit dye remover just faded everything. Even the bright orange diped part. I got so mad I threw it away. Then I did more research on it to see if there was something else I could do. AND THERE WAS! I could dye it back again! I was so excited I went and pulled my skirt out of the trash and washed it again (cause it had some coffee grounds on it) So, at this point operation save my skirt was underway! I packed up Korban in the car and went to Joanns to get some orange dye.. I had like 50 choices to choose from. All of them required to clean up the washer afterwards with bleach and a couple dry runs of washer to get all the dye out.. Not worth it. So, I just bought the permanent spray paint for clothes.


After 4 cans of this stuff my skirt is ALMOST painted orange again... But I didn't get it all painted. There are a few places that I didn't get.. so when I wash it I am hoping the color with blend in with the white parts..
