dying interior? - United Bimmer Community

**dtm325pwr** · 02-23-2006, 04:32 PM

after i get a different job im going to get some ASA JH8 wheels, lower it, then i want to dye the interior to match the racing seats(black and grey) im going to pick up. my question is how would i dye the plastic? like the dashboard, door panels, things like that. or will i be able to just spray paint them?

thanks,

p.s. i think im going to turn the thunderbird into an autocross/track car when i get another car.

I think spray paint may well start peeling

sorry for the stupid question, but whats the difference? i think its vinyl... maybe

**xsperf** · 02-23-2006, 06:47 PM

well if its vinyl(the stuff that is almost leather) then you can dye it, do the same thing jrhaile did

**dtm325pwr** · 02-23-2006, 06:55 PM

alright then im pritty sure its plastic, because its not very leather-like.
