You can do it - I've seen it done before. On vinyl tramps, the texture is on one side only (the top). The underside is very slick. You also have to contend with edges of the material.

There a guy (Capt. Dave) that posts here and on catsailor.com that had a pretty good experience dying his trampoline with automotive vinyl dye. Try a search for "trampoline dye" and see what comes up.

Hmm might be difficult to insert the feet in hiking straps if they are on the bottom of the tramp ;) but this way they would make nice handles if you capsize. :D

You could restich the nylon webbing on the otherside. By the time the vinyl is in bad shape the stitching is gone anyway.
