Good vinyl dye? - 12/04/23 02:46 PM

Who makes GOOD vinyl dye now, for plastic and vinyl? I have a center console, and some dash parts I want to change to black, but want something that will last.

Thanks.

SEM Landau Black, coat it with SEM's clear sealer later, Gloss, Semi Gloss, or Low Lustre Gloss, I recommend the Low Lustre gloss for a more natural/OEM finish sheen....stay away from Mopaints interior crap

Slightly off topic, but does anyone make the suede paint for the dash frame, steering column, etc. anymore?

It's Lacquer just like original.

Maybe apply it with no primer like original? shruggy

Not sure I can bring myself to use it, but they do sell it.

Rich, I did some research, and found that Rustoleum textured black is very close to the original suede. I bought a can, and sprayed a test piece, and I think it looks dead on. Definitely close enough for my tastes.

Yeah, the Rustoleum textured black is pretty close, but a bit smoother texture.
Spraying a dry drop coat as the last coat might improve that.

Another guy that might have good Suede is 8774paint1.com - if I'm remembering his site correctly.
I've bought argent from him and it's as close as modern stuff gets to the "real" argent.
