Has anyone tried re-dying their upholstery? Does anyone have any advice on technique, and what types of paint can be used?
Initially I was considering dying everything in factory colours. My upholstery is starting to show some fading and I was thinking dying it may give it a fresh look. Potentially i was thinking of changing the colour as well, e.g. black with tan combinations (at the moment it is black/dark blue fabric upholstery). ofcourse i considered replacing the chairs with new ones, but besides that being rather expensive, there are no replacement seats for the back seat available, which would have to be done as well... |

Only ever dyed the carpet & roof lining but looks good if done well but can look patchy if done bad so make the effort & gain the rewards

Try the following link...I am sure it is available all sides of the water. I was going to try it out as seen several videos and it seems to be nice and doesn't dry all stiff or anything:
