    Default Black Interior?

    Just wondering has anyone had their interior dyed? I saw one guy on here with red seats and door panels. I was thinking about making the whole intior of mine black instead of mnb. Black on black would be sick!

    A few have, but there was issues with the dye coming off and ruining clothes and stuff.

    I dyed midnight blue seats to black with no issues of rubbing off on clothing at all. I wear a white jacket in the winter Used a kit from leatherique.com




    Door panels were spray painted previously and will be replaced with dyed/matching ones this spring.

    I like for the most part except it's a little vinyl-ish looking because it's so shiny. I just have to give it a high grit sand/polishing and see what that does. I think it looks good and other people probably don't notice...but since I stare at every little detail of it, I think that it looks more like an old black leather seat than a new black leather seat. You get what you pay for though. Full set of seats for ~200, brush-on dye kit for another ~100. I'm very satisfied with the price/outcome ratio.
