VHT Vinyl/Plastic Dye

Hey I was just wondering if anyone had used the VHT Vinyl/Plastic dye before. I have used the NiteShades and loved it and want to change my neutral interior to black. I hear this stuff is good because it actually soaks into the applied area and perminately changes to color unlike paint that tends to crack and chip off. Just thought I'd see if anyone used it and get an opinion from someone besides the manufacture.

Summit Racing sells it for around $9 a can as well as the cleaner to prep the area. Both are the same price

well just wanted to let everyone know that i talked to some guys in my car club that have done their interior and they said that the best thing they have used is the krylon fusion paint for the door panels and then the duplicolor vinyl/fabric paint for the seats.

I will be doing my door panels first. I am going to paint the top edge of the door black as well as were the speaker is and then dye the armrest black. Then the piece behind the door handle will be orange.

I have used the duplicolor on the dash and it came out pretty good. It sticks really good on the dash but chips on plastic. Im going to experiment with other kinds in the future.

On this same subject, I was wanting to know if this stuff worked, because I got the idea to dye the mesh on my recaro seats. I have not seen anybody try that, but I would like to dye them so that they looked better. And possibly either dying the SS and RECARO logos a different color, or swapping out the SS logo and having the OPEL lightning bolt sewn there instead.

Look at the pics in the link in my previous post - it shows how to use a rag to do it (you have to slide the rag in the right direction ).

Well i started on my doors today. I did the top section and speaker area with satin black krylon fusion and then used flat black duplicolor vinyl/fabric paint on the armrest. I will post some pics tomorrow. However I plan on painting the plastic piece behind the inside door handle and inside the armrest with color matched paint
