Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics dash and trim dyeing

I have to fix the dash warp cause its starting to realy bug me after a year of owning the car. While its out I was planning on dyeing the dash a better color like a light grey than the light chocolate brown it is now. I'm trying to go cheap on the dyeing/ dash warp fix verse buying a whole new dash. I can while its out start dyeing the rest of the trim to match. My question is whats the best vynil/plastic dye out there?

I've read good things about duplicolor fabric and vinyl dye. I'm planning to use it myself eventually. Some people have also used krylon fusion on their door panels with good success IIRC.

duplicolor fabric and vinyl dye spray paint-worked good easy to use and i can use armorall on it

Wow, that looks stupid. Sorry.

yea-unfinished project hehe i dont like it either now, can't wait till everything in the interior is done though.

imo the blue/black is kinda cool,lol. Different....

I've been weary about using dyes and stuff on dashes. Almost every time I see it done,it's done in whie or red or some stupid colour and it looks like crap. I might try it in my Mazda pickup,because I have a burgundy interior and it's all faded,and I want to do a grey swap,so maybe I can just dye the dash and stuff grey,because if not,I'll probably be fiberglassing my dash and painting it body colour. I just don't want the effect to look like it was painted or sprayed. Sure,it's ok to have trim bits and stuff painted,but I hate seeing dashes or door panels dyed and you know they were because it looks so bad. I guess any experienced painter can do a good job eh?
