Question about dyeing interior panels.

I have a 2000 vert that i have painted a custom orange. I would like to redo the interior the same as a mod red but in orange to match my exterior. I know i can have my seats done, but is there a way to dye the panels (orange) so that they will look good. If so what kind of dye would i use, or if anyone has done this sort of dyeing some pics would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

SEM dye is generally considered to be top quality when it comes to interior dye's. I'm sure you could find something off the shelf but SEM will last.

Don't forget that the undercoat primer color has a big effect on the brightness or darkness of the final coat shade. Test with white, silver, grey, black, etc. before you start painting panels. I would use the same primer color as used on the body first. Some paints will need flex agent or it will crack and flake off.
