Easy peasy. Just do it with sponges. I have black carpet dye here if you want a bottle.

I bought 2 bottles for dying my carpet black so it would match the grey leather seats I got, but I didnt dye the carpet in the end coz I dyed the leather instead.
I have 2 bottles so you can have one each, all you'll need is a sponge to apply it with. Since its black you shouldnt get any blotchiness.
Say £8 for each bottle and that includes delivery!
If you're unsure about it working on the roof liner then email the eBay seller and ask him if it'll work.

Speak to Rob and Lisa about dying the seats...

As for the roof lining "if i jobs worth doing, do it properly"

Rip the bugger off and give it a good few coates. I'm sceptical about it taking one coat, and you'll only get pissed off and tired trying to apply it upside down in a small cabin

lol i know dude but im sceptical getting the dam roof lining back on... its not that easy like people think... ive had to do it before and it is hard. i'll get a paint roller lmao

This is such a brilliant idea

Are any of you guys gonna try it on the hossible flowery seats? Cuz I might give it a shot aswell if it works.

**Posted:** Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:18 pm

I'll end up doinf the seats, door cards, carpet, roof lol anywhere with fabric

I thought about the seats today, coz i dont whether the sun visor wud dye coz that aint carpet!

might look a bit odd! will def try seats coz my driver seat is fading badly!

**Posted:** Thu Nov 01, 2007 11:47 pm

Holla!
Both your bottles were sent today. Biggsey, I think this product would do your sun visor https://www.usautomotive.co.uk/store/sc ... ategory=59 its what I used to dye the vinyl parts of my leather seats.

**Posted:** Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:01 am

Hmmmm vinyl dye.... nice one dowzerr thanx for that, how coats did you put on ur seats?

**Posted:** Fri Nov 02, 2007 12:09 am

Only took a couple. It penetrates the vinyl so you can put it on quite generously. Just take your time and dont forget to mask the vanity mirror!
