Default Fabric Dye Pen

Does any one know the best brand to use and which color is the closest match to Spice Red?

I can't help you on a brand but I'm curious on what you're doing.

I'll be dyeing the remaining white stitching to match the Spice Red trim pieces I swapped in.

I don't know if it's the best, but I was pleased with the Marvy fabric pin. I died the stitching in my AR interior approx. 1 1/2 ago, and it still looks good, however it does stay in the garage when it's home. I suggest you buy several different brands of the fabric dye pins to help you get the closet match. I bought 3, and the Marvy was closest for me.

I don't know which color you would use, but I used this on the seats in my Admiral blue coupe. One year later and holding up.

I immediately thought of the "jag" piece when I saw the first post!
