Dash pad problems
I decided to change the color of my interior in my 2019 Grandsport.2LT. I had my seats redone in red along with my door arm rests, center console and dash pad,(over the gauges). Since my dash pad, the one that goes across the complete dash just below the windshield, has gray thread stitching, I had the upholstery shop use a red dye pen to change the color. The red bled into the black dash material. He used mineral spirits to clean the black dash pad and now the area around/next to the thread has turned yellow. Can I have the black re-dyed or should I replace the complete dash pad? I don't think a re-dye will look as well as factory and may fade in a year. He is paying for the repair. I'm totally upset with the result.

I agree that the dash can be dyed. Just be sure the person doing it knows what they are doing so that the match is perfect. Good luck - hope it turns out great.
