[QUOTE="DRTYAPE_SRT, post: 16684761, member: 196491"] While avoiding more difficult tasks I decided to dye the interior fabric. The “Raven” color code was looking a bit more like lapis, I used dupli-color interior vinyl and upholstery spray. I steam cleaned the seats, let them dry overnight, masked and hit them with three coats while brushing the fabric between each coat. This works well with fabric that has a medium to high pile, as the dye can absorb while the fabric lays numerous directions from brushing. In the end I give it a good rigorous brushing and vac and the velour feels just the same as it did before. I wouldn’t use this product on every fabric but in this case it works well. I looked at TMI upholstery but it would have cost more than I paid for the car and I’ve decided to spend the money on the motor. I still have to repair the foam on the drivers bolster before I dye the front seats.
