AMG Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Someone once told me that if your pillows are still in tact and have no holes through them or corrosion of the interior, that you could have them re-dipped (if that is the right term) and then they will have a nice surface to them again, for lots less than new pillows. New pills are about $60 a piece (I have 2) and mine simply are not as dark as they once were and have lots of wrinkles in them. Should I just buy new ones or is there some service out there that specializes in this for cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy it at a hardware store, usually in black. Look where the regular spray paint is sold. Dry out the pillows and spray on the dip. One good coat is enough. Let them dry for a day or two (depends on the weather) and they'll look like brand new! If your spa cover rubs on the tops of the pillows it probably won't last long, otherwise we've had ours for over a year and they still look perfect. We also moved a spa we sold a while ago and had spray dipped the pillows - they still looked perfect as well. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Very interesting idea. My pillows are usable, they just have wrinkles in them. I may go look and see what colors I can get. I may check a more commercial contractor place to see if they have more colors. If it doesn't work out how I want, I can always buy new ones. Thanks for the 411.
