Default Visor dye?

Anyone try to dye sunvisors? Mine, purchased and installed at the same time from Ecklers have decided to fade at drastically different rates even though it is in the garage unless I'm driving it. Any advice is appreciated

Haven't done it but also thought about it as the new aftermarket visors I installed are more of a dark gray vs. black. If I do decide to dye them darker, I will use SEM Fabric Dye. I used it in the cargo area of our older SUV after spilling some pool chlorine and it blended in great with the black carpet.

This person on Etsy makes leather visor covers. Choose your stitching color. Yellow is listed. You can find them other places too.

2 good options combined. I guess I can try the dye and if it fails buy the covers

Feibling"s water based leather dye. Black as black can be. It's worth a try although that is synthetic material on the visors so it may not work. But it's pretty cheap.. about $7 a bottle. .Wear rubber gloves unless you like black hands. Appy with a sponge paintbrush, dabbing it on. repeat as needed to get even coverage..
