Posted July 27, 200321 yr comment_45284 Right now with all the other stuff Im planning my interior is possibly gonna be put off for at least a year. I was trying to think of some cheap ways to improve my interior since Im currently using my car as a daily driver.I was thinking of trying vinyl dye on many of the brown interior parts to make em black. Anyone ever tried this? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7205-vinyl-dye/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 5, 200321 yr Author comment_46175 have you by chance tried it on any larger sections, like a headliner? I dont want it to look splotchy :-) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7205-vinyl-dye/#findComment-46175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 6, 200321 yr comment_46270 no, nothing really big, largest piece was probably my glove box door, but it came out very evenly, i would suspect it would be the same throughout a large surface, i come to this conclusion largly because it dries slowly so it also dries very evenly, causing the desired affect, unlike spraypaint sometimes does when it dries too fast...-Zach Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7205-vinyl-dye/#findComment-46270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 8, 200321 yr comment_49058 I just finished prepping and dyeing/painting my seats and they turned out fantastic. They had been dyed earlier and they did a terrible job.I first cleaned them with Dawn and water with a plastic bristle brush and got most of it off. Then I took lacquer thinner and got the rest off. Make sure you don't leave it on long. Then I finished with a good rinse and waited a week to dry out.Then I sprayed on Bull Dog, it's a coating used for flexable bumpers etc. and left it for 5 or so minutes then took the cans of vinyl paint(dupli color) to the seats.My buddies couldnt believe how nice they turned out.
