Yup. I used spray for the back seats...they came out nice and pretty (Ebony Black) but, they still smell like spray. I used brush on dye for the carpet and front seats and let them dry for about 6 hours (being safe) they came out great too without the arisol smell.

So, if you want a black interior use the brush on dye not the spray......even if it takes about twice as long.

 

Do you have pictures?

 

No..........I have to borrow a camera.

 

I thought about doing some parts red, ala CTR...but never had the ***** to try it out.

 

Yeah pics would be nice, plus actual things used. I have the ugly blue interior on my hatch as was thinkging of chaning it to black. Anything useful would really help..

 

I will get the names of the products tonight and am going to see about a digi cam as well. So, hopefully, pics tomorrow. with an explaination of the products used.

 

 

The smell goes away after a few weeks. I sprayed my hatch cover with vinyl dye and it smelled bad for a few weeks.

 

Great, that's what I was hoping to hear.....right now the back seats are out. I will be putting them back in after the smell is gone.

 

Well the spray can was 4.99 and it did the back seat butt cushion and half of the back rest.

I don't remember how much the brush on was.......I will post that tomorrow as well.

ANd I think it looks great.....I am getting a camera today if I can find one under a hundred and fifty.

All in all, using the spray it took me about 1 hour to do the back seats.....inculding prep time and removal of the seats.

 

shibby!!! interested in spraying my blue interior to black.

 

Again, I don't suggest the spray unless you like the smell of arisol for weeks on end.

Of course.....the brush on stuff has a weird smell too.

 

i used fabric dye on my door panels, worked well. picked it up at the local hobby store and sprayed on using an airbrush

 

Pics mang pics!!??

 

I am also wanting to do this but am not quite sure on what to paint the dash with. I really want to do it but I dont want the paint to start coming off. Let me know what you guy painted your dash's with.

 

No pics.....torque wrench and breaker bars were needed more. I am still trying to get pics though.

 

I orignally found out about this spray dye from a computer forum. People use them to dye their cd-roms etc. I tried it on some of my computer stuff too, and I can tell you this.

This is NOT paint. The only way it will flake off of plastic is if it isnt totally dry. It actually soaks into the plastic.

If you are still unsure, take one of your door pulls or handles and spray that. Then wait to see what happens in a few weeks to that, since you tough it everyday.

 

Whoo... what spray dye is it? I want to do my door panels, interior rear quarter panels, and dash. Where can it be purchased? Expensive?

 

just goto the automotive paint section at pepboys or even walmart, kragen etc.

Look for Interior Dye, Vinyl Dye etc in spray cans. there are a few people that make it, and comes in all kinds of colors.

 

Pepboys is where I got mine......5 dollars a can and I used 1.5 cans on the rear seats alone.

 

does Pep Boys also carry the roll-on? What are these products called? Other than the smell is the aerosol as effective as the roll on? Thanks

 

Off the top of my head....

Fabric Dye
Interior Dye
Plastikote Vinyl Dye
Upholstery Dye
etc etc
You cant miss it. Most of them have pictures of beat up seats on them

I used it on some floor matts that I have, but I think they were Scotch Gaurded, so the stuff just "dusted" off and wasnt able to soak in. It should work fine on anthing that hasn't been stain treated, as long as it can soak into the fabric.

 

i did my dash and am doing my fabric tomorrow, use laquir thinner to dry out the dash like just wipe the dash done with the stuff, then tape everything off and paint it with vinyl paint, it looks like a brand new dash, i am not kidding it looks better than a brand new car cause its all shinny and everything, they have mass colors too but i decided to keep it simple and go with black. good luck guys

 

pictures anyone??? i would really like to die my rear seats to match my front seats.. thanks

 

no shiett, this sound very interesting ....post some pixs of what this all looks like....
