Interior dye,Buckskin,1977

A bit of info if your going to dye/paint interior pcs. I bought a qt. of dye and a qt of adhesion material on Friday. Sat. I washed with soap and water all my interior parts in preperation to dye.The dirty run off water looked like 30 years of nicotine and  the pcs. almost looked good enough to put back in car after all had dried. Sunday I preped all pcs. with the adhesion material,no reducers or hardners,just straight out of the can and into the gun.I used 20 lbs of air and applied 2 coats.Paint supplier said wait 20 min. before apllying dye.BTW,it is called dye,but looks and acts as paint and it does not get reduced either,just right out of the can. I applied three coats even though it looked great after two.All the pcs. still have the factory grainy "look". Between the adhesion material and the dye,it took about two hours total.The dye dries VERY quickly and it looks like the day it was made. The cost was a little under $100.00. It was available in spray cans, I just felt more comfortable using my gun. Well worth the time(not much)and money(not much). Anyone reading this post can do it with ease.

I forgot to say I did not do seat covers or upper dash and had 1/3 of a qt of dye left over,so a qt. does a car.

SEM?

Great Thanks for the info

thanks Mike , I've been thinking of doing that to one of mine. 

6880mike.... I will get brand name and post tommorrow.I buy from a PPG supplier but this NOT a PPG product .

Cool. I need to do that to a new stearing column that I have. Want to dye it Black Since I would like to change the interior to black.

6880 mike... the brand name of the dye is "Specialty Performance Products"

I did the same to mine last year. Repainted all the interior plastic parts then used clear satin over the newly painted parts. Just gives it a little more durability.

Do you think the spray cans work well if one was to go that route? Has anyone used the spray can stuff?
