Once and For All (Interior Dye)
okay, so I've been lookig at old posts for a while and we are going to take a final tally.
everybody post up which interior dye or paint they think is the best (as well as the worst if you've had a bad experience) and I'll count all the posts up in a week or two.
be specific.

Corvette America... 1980 Doeskin...
Prepped with Purple Power then Denatured Alcohol...
3 very light coats on each part held grain and texture.
Still looks good 24 months later.
Lesson... just make sure you purchase all you need so that it all comes from the same "batch"...check the batch number on every can before you start...there are shade differences between them... Here are some pics.
