  • Dyeing Interior

    I started to dye the interior of my 78 Formula. So far it's going pretty good. I'm changing the stock 'camel' to black. I still have to clear coat the parts i have done so far.


    Here's alittle "old and new' pic.

            Yea looks really good. Vinyl dye should penetrate the surface on that material and won't rub off.

              Depends on the vinyl dye, though. Duplicolor's looked great for awhile, but then it started to rub. But, that's what clear coat is for! Looks great, bro!

                It is pretty nice looking. I have some gray cloth in my car, and I was thinking of dyeing it all black, but I would be doing the seat covers and everything, so I can't have the dye rubbing off on me. Is there any kind of cloth dye you guys would recommend, or should I just pick one and follow the instructions on the box? Also, does the vinyl dye you used only stick to vinyl, or would I need to tape off the area I am working with? I need to re-dye my center console lid, it's looking pretty sun-bleached.

                    Looks great, bro! Are you using SEM, or a different type of paint?

                            It's a lot better than the gay color that was there before! Nice job, post more pics as you near completion of this project!

                              The reason I was asking is because it looks so good that I wanted to take a mental note of what he was using because it turns out so good! SEM is usually hailed as the all powerful interior dye, but whatever is being used looks sa-weet.
