interior dyeing
 

Has anyone re-vinyled thier car? or re-dyed thier interior fabric? I'm thinking about buying this dye i found online supposed to be "professional dye" that doesn't "fad or crack" but now i cant find it :( not the point though as anyone dyed thier interior and are happy with the results and no dye ruboff or cracks or fading?

a guy i know did it to his integra and it looked like total ****..i think it looked better when it was stock...but, its your choice

i redyied my old shirts and they look like **** imagine your interior...LOL...try if youre willing to.

the beter thing is to sawp out an interior, dyeing is the cheap way but sometimes it can jsut be a gigantic mess, and youd be rather upset.

my friend did it in his rx7. he did a full black interior swap and used this regular interior dye, not the really cheap stuff but it turned out really really good. but he just did his carpets and and door stuff. he had it all out though used a bunch and then hosed it and let it dry in the sun, thats the only way i've heard of it turning out good.

do you know the name of the dye?

theres something out there called SEM dye. mabey that was it. supposed to be good stuff.

within the next couple of weeks im going to be testing some spray dyes on both plastics and vinyls ill post my findings :) and tell everyone what worked best for me and what products just sucked. i want to put the redyed fabric through rub test, scratch test and heat test... to see which can hang and which crap out reply if anyone would actually be interested.

i'm pretty sure it was rit. you can find it a lot of places, i know that works like a champ.

ok i found my first test product it was the one i was talking about in the first comment. its from a company called VHT
