Yes you can..Sem(sp) has all factory correct colors..Make sure ya get the cleaner and primer also...I found it at my Napa...It's sold pretty much everywhere...I went from lite to dark but I have seen the reverse..Very easy and no pealing or can't scratch it...I'm impressed with the stuff..The prep work is the important part...It took me about an hour per panel.

My son dyed the seats in his Cavalier this summer. The only word of caution I can give is that these dyes tend to make the fabric very stiff and brittle. Even after people sitting in the seats, they're still kind of harsh on the butt,
