Christ I'm such a plank! Forgot that I ordered 5 litres of dye yesterday :blink: Cider and ebay don't mix!

 

Paul, there will be a lot left over so will be in contact after I'm done with it :)

 

Where do you get it from? I have saved the dye your carpet thread just need the matterials

Will it work on the fabric side of the boot blind?

 

Not too sure on that, the blind seems to be some sort of vinyl, I can send you a small bottle of dye to give it a try?

Well I did the headlining but it didn't turn out too good :(

 

It probably didnt help that Dudes car had a minor electrical fire which desposited a great deal of smoke damage to the lining panels. I couldn't clean it off and now it shows through dispite 5 dye applications :(

 

Ah well, it's still 10 times better than before!

 

I have about 3.5 litres left so will mark 2.5 litres for Paul and whoever wants the rest can let me know :)

OK T, ignore my post above.

 

I unboxed a few bits in the garage and found the spare dye and also the old boot blind.

 

I'll do a 50/50 test for you on it so, it shows up the restults.

 

Now, do you want the smooth fabric side doing or the rougher vinyl side doing ?

 

OR both ?

 

Let me know Phil and post up some pic's for you ;)

Hey T,

 

Here are some update photo's.

 

Only one coat so far, it's my old boot blind was in good condition, just dusty. The clips broke on it so, I got a new one.

 

Anyway, it just started to rain as I was doing this so, the light from outside my garage is dull.

 

I'll give it a few more coats and see how the end result is when fully dry.
