Interior dye recommendations?
I would like to redye my knee pads, ac vents and other dash parts. The black is fading and want to spruce them up. What brand dye do you recommend. Brush on or spray on.
Thanks Eric

By AC vents do you mean the plastic pieces?

One thing you mat try is Ritz dye for plastic parts. I used the red Ritz dye to return the red color to my heater handles between the seats. For those of you who have them, they fade to a pinkish color and look horrible. I created a concentrated red dye soup and soaked the handles in the mixture for a while. They came out like new. Can't speak to the color fastness of the process, since I sold them. But it was easy enough to do annually if need be. I also bought some black at that time, but never ended up using it?

From the threads I've read the Black works very well also.
But no reports on longevity regarding this technique.
