ive used vinyl dye on the window switches and stuff, and it turns out good, the only thing i cant get right, is the peice that holds the center console, and extends from the stereo back... its texture doesnt like the vinyl dye, it makes it really shiney and wet feeling, and it comes off easily...

well, just placed my order. right now, i'm just working on the front dash. so everything infront of me will be nice. new gauges, climate, etc all done in LEDs. i'm not worrying about the doors now, cuz the part that i would be painting black, is cracked like, 14 times, so i want to replace them, so i won't waste my money dying them. so i ordered 1 thing of vinyl prep, and 2 cans of satin black dye. i think that will be more than enough to do the entire top dash, and the center piece. wood trim is going high gloss black. will post pics when i'm done, prolly in a new thread, cuz i wanna show pics of my new gauges and everything too. can't wait to see everyones results.

Where in central florida are you? I'd like to help you out when you do it. I bought it on 17-92 at a place called bens paint supply, they usually only have 2 cans in stock, but you can order then. I just bought 4 at a time and kept going back. It's right next to courtesy pontiac/GMC and across from econo paint.

i ordered from here:
http://store.yahoo.com/yourautotrim-store/
can i post links? i can never remember the rules or whatnot, lol. if it gets deleted, i'll PM it to you.
it ended up being just under 40 bucks for 2 13oz cans, and 1 vinyl prep. not bad at all. but the charge for shipping after the order. so i thought it was 30 bucks, then like, a half hour later, i get an email saying 36. eh, no biggie, just, weird.
