Dying leather? (Seats) well got some perfect condition front seats coming but they are that grey color the rest of my interior is charcoal/black I know dying isnt rocket science but i was wondering if anyone here had done it with good results and wheres a good place to get the stuff that won't mess up automotive seats
There is a paint that is designed to dye vinyl, fiber, and carpet. They sell it at almost any auto parts store. I used a can to change color of sunvisors a while back for my 1975 camaro, I bought those visors in tan and changed them to black. That paint does work, but you got to give it some time to set, at least a day and you should be good to go. I would be concerned about the seats since there will be frequent rubbing and contact with them. My sunvisors still look as if they were originally black, but theres not that much rubbing or use on them.

here's the seats I won on ebay
just trying to get them to that ebony/charcoal color probably just paint the plastic pieces black
Previous ownerd dyed mine and now they are half black half tan. The paint sticks to me when I work on it or if its a hot day. I think if you do your research and do your prep work really good you'll be ok. Otherwise you might end up with crappy results like mine.
