I had to use a full can on each door...cause the orginal color kept bleeding through...but yea...it sucks...my dash took 2 cans..I'm scared to see what my headliner's gonna look like

i guessed wrong, looks like the total is gonna be 6 cans of dye, one for the doors, 2 for the backseat, 2 for the headliner and one for the dash pad and armrest

yep it has, and those old seats are gone, they didn't meet my expectations, i put in weapon r ones and couldn't be happier. and the interior is only about 10% done, i just dyed the fabric, i still gotta paint and stuff before its done, and get a new shift boot......that thing is pretty bad

gold 99gt, yes you can dye the carpet on the doors, i did and it looks great. its easier to mask up the door around the tweed and spray away than it is to remove the tweed part.

and 5 cans for the headliner....damn, didn't think it would be that bad but ok, i'll grab a few more for that, i just have the rear deck lid, headliner and visors and im done, all black

redgtz, i used dupliclor vynal and fabric dye, its in the spraypaint section at autozone or walmart, its a spraycan, it works awsome, my backseat looks incredible, so awsome black instead of grey

mine have that capet thing on the bottom, and a cloth material on the door armrests, i used it on the armrests on the door, the carpet at the bottom is already black. i think it will work fine on any fabric material on your car, or you could go to a junkyard and try the dye there on a car
