SEM makes interior dyes. Make absolutely sure you clean the surface well. Use detergents and even acetone, but check for color fastness (paint wiping off from the acetone). Paints don't like silicones (Armor All and the like). Silicones will fisheye your paint and make you throw things across the garage. Also, I recommend a coat of Bulldog adhesion promoter prior to spraying the dye. Then top it off with a clear coat. PPG and other large paint manufacturers also make interior dyes that you can have custom mixed and matched at paint supply shops.
