Dying interior parts

[Wicked98Snake]

Has anybody done this? I bought some Duplicolor vinyl and fabric dye along with the prep spray they recommended in the directions. I have a few small pieces I am going to try and dye along with the backseat. Has anybody tried this, any tips or tricks you could pass along would help.
Thanks

Interested in seeing some input on this.

I ve done it, it works very well.

Clean the ever loving shit out of the part, and hit it with some scotchbrite to scuff it slightly. It lasted many years on my old vert, but was rubbing off around where the dash touched to trim pannel.

I wanted to hit it with some satin clear after a redo, but sold it that way.

I did it to a leather rear seat and numerous interior panels. I used the paint and prep supplies from Late Model Restoration. All of mine came out looking good. Like Baron said, clean it very good first.

I had bad luck doing a coupe back seat years ago. Faded red seat and I tried to dye it black and it took alot of dye to get it black and then it felt like wool. Worked awsome for the dash and misc vinyl and plastic pieces though, just not cloth.

Thanks guys I guess I'll go ahead and try it, the back seat is leather/vinyl so maybe it will come out ok, worse I would have to do is find a new seat skin for it.

SEM makes some user friendly dyes. I can make them from my Dupont system with low/med/or hi gloss that have to be sprayed w/ a paint gun. The SEM stuff comes in a shake-n-spray can. You can get it at nearly any paint store.

I've heard very good things about SEM. I'd like to try the mixed stuff, but don'thave anything to work.

I would hit it with adhesion promotor before the dye as well.

I am about to buy some deluxe door panels for my 70 Mach 1 that were originally black but dyed red. I need them black for my car. Any chance of clean removal of existing dye or best to just go over it? I dont think the seller knows what red dye product was appled to it. Anyone been there, done that?

[miketyler]

Got them today and man, are they red. Any suggestions?

prep and spray away. We're not too far apart if you need a hand.
