Any idea how long it'll last for?

 

^^ im curious to how long this will last as well. it would be great to get rid of all the ugly tan in my car without having to rewrap it or buy black pieces. from the pic it looks pretty good.

sorry for the bad pic, the A pillar was dyed, need to clean the pillar and throw some conditioner on it, but you get the idea:

gadgetsc: thanks for the fjo!
mteele: thanks for the pillar!

 

I didn't dye my seats, i'm using 97 black leather supra seats. I pretty much only dyed what was once brown. I used a dye called sems which holds up great. My friend dyed his whole interior 4 years ago and still looks as good as new.

the hardest parts to dye were the hard plastic pieces. I did many coats and so far even if i tried to scratch it off, it wont come off.

I used a total of about 8-10 cans at $9 each.


As for the carpet....brand new factory floor mats and RIT DYE.


*I used to have all black factory pieces but sold them and instead saved money and used dye.

 

hey detuned where did you buy the dye from? is there a website?

 

bens paint supply here locally. I'm sure you can search for SEMS online and something will come up.

 

Detuned - what did you do for the wood trim pieces??? order new ones? paint? dye? i remember reading a post a while ago about blackwood trim pieces, looked very nice, i can't really tell in the pics what you did.

 

I honestly think if you could make the outsides of the seats tan like so(inside the red circles).... that would look awesome!

 

Gazi,
Very Nice work
Your gauges are nicely placed.

TRD, I agree with you on the tan peices for the seats. Ill do it when the black wears out since there are only 18K miles on these seats now.

 

hey TRD, is that your interior?

 

Detuned, how much RIT dye did you use? Powder or Liquid dye?

 

just saw this last night.....looks better in person

 

are there any prep work you have to do before you put the dye on? if so what product do you guys use to prep it? also should i buy leather dye, would that work on all the brown interior pieces? im trying to buy everything all at once so i can dye everything brown to black at once.

 

lol all at once the black and tan interior scheme blows up and now we will see numerouse variations of it everywhere lol. Also on the plastic dark brown pieces, was paint or dye use?
