Dash pad... Paint or Dye????

[Dustman73]

I may buy a green dash pad and I have a blue interior, would dye work better than vinyl paint? which would be easyest to use? And where can i get them with an exact match to my interior?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-D Thanks...

I can say first hand the shop I worked at had to dye an airbag for a 300c, it ended up pealing and it was done at a professional shop.

Although I dont know if paint would work either, never tried it, I suppose if you used a scuffing agent(scuff paste) and a toothbrush(to get the stuff into cracks and hard to reach areas). it might work.

good luck

Dye will lift if the surface is not prepared right, just like paint. When the dye is applied correctly it looks and adheres just fine. Follow the directions EXACTLY and spend the most time cleaning and prepping the surface, getting into all the little cracks and crevices.
