Interior Dye You should not have a problem with dye rubbing off on your clothes. I'm in the process off dying my interior and its really quite simple just follow the directions to the T. If you take time and do good prep work you will very happy. I used SEM products.
Not sure about the spray cans you can buy, but the stuff I got from the auto paint supply house and sprayed on with a PreVal unit is still going strong. No wear marks whatsoever. The guy at the counter told me you are basically spraying on liquid vinyl, to a point. Be sure to prep the vinyl good first with whatever they recommend. If you are spraying a basic color nobody will ever know they were a different color before. Custom colors can be hard to match perfectly.
what exactly are ya using and where can i get it? got any pics of you in the process? im swaping out all the parts that i can but i cant get out the dash, dont want to take out the headliner, and the package tray. so i figure ill just mask and paint those inside the car... gonna get a black carpet kit too... pete
I have had great luck. There is a store in PA VinylPro of Western Pa. http://www.nb.net/~vinylpro/ Thad is very very helpful. I haven't seen prices any more competitive. $25 for a quart of color matched SEM products. That is a good deal to me. He has all of the SEM line for what ever you may need. I have ordered from him many times. He has the formula for the 72 Buick White that I have been selling parts with that dye on them. Good luck! Troy
I bought a cheap can of Vinyl spray paint at a flea-market type store. I painted my black brake pedal red, and it has held up for six months so far. It exceeded my expectations. It was the same brand they sell at Wal-Mart.
