Just did the black carpet in my Mustang with RIT dye. Worked out great. Haven't tried anything else though. Theses guys have leather dye http://leatherique.com/default.htm

OK. No one's listened to me yet, but I'll try again. If you can spray it on yourself, go to the auto paint supply store with the vette code of the color you want and they will mix that very factory color for you. It cost me $60 for a quart. Did everything but the seats. They did not need it. Also sprayed the dash pad. You must use cleaner to get anything to stick for good. Again, the paint shops have the primer(the kind you wipe on) and cleaner. If you don't do this, the dye will fish-eye and later rub off. If you don't care about factory colors, just go to NAPA and use their spray cans. They're good. But you still need to clean and prime. Just my $0.02 :seeya
