Dye does not do well on seatcovers.

Ed;
Just finished scanning all 11 pages of the C-4 Tech tips section and couldn't find "Dyeing Interior Pieces". Are you sure it's there? Or am I blind? :crazy:

Ed, I will be changing the entire interior color from saddle to black. What do you use for the hard plastic pieces so that they match the vinyl? Will the Landau black work on vinyl and what about prep on plastic?
