I haven't used SEM dyes but man their interior sprays are great! I've done dashes, and even steering wheels with a spray and they come out good and even the steering wheel held up really well!
Facts are stubborn things.

I always clean the Vinyl or Plastic with Acetone or some other high strength solvent that will not leave a residue. It will "soften" the surface and helps the paint/dye to sink in better. I died a set of White seats in my Challenger black. Even as a daily driver with lots of use the dye stuck pretty well. Only when scratched with something hard and sharp, did the white show through. Normal wear and tear had no problems and they stayed black even on the seat bottoms for years. Clean it right before you paint them so the surface is still soft when the paint is applied. My

Auto body paint supply mixed up a quart of SEM for me, and I sprayed a pair of green '68 Charger seats white, and they held up great. Couldn't tell they were sprayed, even in the pleats. Just wiping with a solvent just dilutes contaminates like Armor All, or whatever. I use trisodium phosphate, which is a powder, with a Scotch Brite and water to scrub them, and wash all contaminates off.
