Default dyeing interior

I did a search in the archives on dye because it seems that it will be hard to get a new horn button for the 76 if I replace the steering wheel. The jobs I've seen forum members do are great and I was wondering where and what kind of dye to get, how much will I need, and what prepping materials are needed. any help is appreciated.

I did my whole steering column when it was apart, including the horn button. All I did was wet sand the column parts with 600 grit, wiped it down good and sprayed it. Looks great. The column took 1 whole can of spray.
