Default interior dye?

Has anyone used a interior dye for the dash, mine is fadded pretty bad.Is there a liquid dye i could use or just aerosol spray can. I want to leave the dash in the car so i thought the liquid would be easier to apply.

Look in to the SEM products, I know of a couple guys in my car club who have used the stuff and it seems to be very durable and a great match for our factory colors! If you do a search here on LS1Tech, you'll see many other guys that have used SEM with successful results as well.

I used SEM on mine and had great results. Make sure you buy the prep kit and take your time cleaning everything and taping off. Also dont try to do the plastic piece between the windshield and the dash... mine bubbled terribly. As for the actual viynal piece of the dash awesome results. Heres a few pics.

I stand behind my charcoal to ebony SEM spray job 100%. Sprayed with dash in the car, just masked it off. Removed the Dash Cover piece. (I did not spray that as I replaced it with am OEM ebony one) Still perfect in year 2. I used a 3M aerosol can cleaner as prep. I also used SEM Semi-gloss clear coat to tone down the shine from the dye alone.
