mawby Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 After doing Tigger's well over a year ago I've finally got around to using the rest of the dye up on mine. It's surprising the difference it makes. All I need now is to source the seat track covers in black. Next dying project; the roof lining, but before I start that I need to get hold some black visors, visor holders and map lamp assembly.

mawby Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Looks good mate, You could always spray the seat track covers?I did think about that but as a couple of mine are cracked I thought I'd try and get original black ones first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I did think about that but as a couple of mine are cracked I thought I'd try and get original black ones first. you could always do this much better than spray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedT18 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) anyone tried to paint the seats? Or will the paint be on my Jeans? Edited July 7, 2011 by RedT18 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Just for info, DO NOT use Autoglym fabric dye ! I used it on my floor mats, left it to dry in the sun for two days and another week in the car. Still it rubs off onto my hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Sorry for resurrecting that old thread..... But it still is a very good guide!! I wanted to ask how the dyed carpets perform in the long run. Is there any fade or something? or is it basically just like a OEM black carpet? Also - which dye turned out to be the best to do the job? Thanks a lot! Herbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have mine done about 2 years now, used Fabric spray with a UV protector; still as black and the dye never came off http://www.fabricspray.ie/shop/upholstery-spray-paint/midnight-black https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/541349_369270716442254_970458022_n.jpg https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/294952_369271206442205_622827940_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/540645_369244703111522_1258244767_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
