FWIW: you can dye interior pieces. SEM makes an excellent automotive interior dye.

SMS Auto Fabrics 503-263-3535 out of Canby, Oregon. I have used them several times. They are very good about sending samples and have an excellent stock of OE materials.

Matching the color is sometimes an issue, but I found excellent match for my blue pillar post molding and carpeting at Paragon. I bought seat covers and new foam at Al Knock, but the foam was a little too thick. The seat cover colors were spot on though and the artificial "comfort weave" is pretty close.

I have interior quarter panels that are the wrong color. They are a dark blue, were suppose to be bright blue in the pictures. I questioned the vendor and he said the ones I received weren’t from him. So I’m stuck with them. I wanted to strip them and try to redo them. Something to try. So I’m looking for the material.

I do that for a living! SEM is the way to go, although I source my vinyl paint locally. Use a HVLP gun so you don't waste much. And clean with alcohol, as it's all in the prep.
