Dye'ing for interior

Post by masterbateson »

Have any of you dye'd your roof lining/Tbar covers and sun shades???

Seen some dye you dont need to wash out so thought i might dye my roof lining black as the old grey looks a bit worse for wear.

Anyone tried this before?

possibly stick a wanted add up for a black headliner. I'll be swapping my grey headliner for a black one.

I'll try dye'ing the Tbar panels, if it works on them it should be fine for the rest.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Going to paint the dye on with either a brush or probably something like a small sponge pad, prob one of those ones you wash your dishes with will do.

I spray painted my grey t bar blinds with normal rattle cans. I think they look fine though feel a bit "stiff" lol

I managed to get a black headliner for my t bar turbo but couldnt find sun visors or the interior clock. As people are selling them for silly money I thought id try dyeing the visors with some leather black dye I used on my leather seats.
They actually come out not too bad though again they felt stiff - plus I could have been less messy when doing it.
The interior clock I just plastic primered and sprayed with gloss black. Again, apart from my bad masking it came out fine.
