b16gnr Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Well after no luck getting a second hand carpet set I decided to dye my old tired grey ones, using carpet dye and leather/ vinyl dye for the arm rests and crash pad and I’m pretty happy with the results, just the dash left to do. 4 Quote
John (Kernow) Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 What a difference Wayne looks great! Are you doing the side panels as well? Would be good to meet up for a run out and look at all the changes. John Quote

Andy Malone - Editor Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Looks great! Any chance you could post up the details of the leather dye you used? I have a grey dash I'm considering trying it on before I fork out for a new one. Cheers. Quote

No worries Andy I got it off eBay, I have just bought some clear sealant top coat as well https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F380494665096 Quote
Andy Malone - Editor Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Thanks. How much of it did you use in the end for the job? Quote
dombanks Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Did the leather dye work on all the vinyl parts? Quote
