Interior Dye
Where should I go to get quality leather/vinyl dye? I want to re-dye the leather inserts on my seats and the outside vinyl seat panels. The color is '82 dark red.
Also, how should the surfaces be prepped?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Re: Interior Dye (twotone82)
Automotive paint supply store. SEM is good stuff--just about any color you want. However, seats don't dye well--too much wear. You can prep the leather so it will take the dye better (it's not really dye, BTW, but a flexible paint), but you're kind of SOL on the vinyl--the stuff will eventually flake because the seat material flexes so much with you sitting on it.
