Need to get some interior plastic parts dyed/resprayed, not looking for a rattle can because I can't afford to screw these parts up since I won't be able to replace them. Dealers hire guys who can do this all the time to touch up interiors on used cars. Just curious if any one does this?

 

Found a place called Tru Colors in Stafford, any one ever heard of them? They don't seem to have a web site

 

Get the SEM dye in a can, it's no joke.

 

I have been looking in to it, a couple magazines used it on some restoration stuff, seems like if you follow the process with the prep and use the sand free before color coat you get some good results. A lot better than shitty auto parts store rattle can stuff I have seen.

 

I am about to do both my cars with it, I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

Should come out nice, had to order it from a Paint and Body supply store, they said if you follow the steps and get every thing super clean it works really well.

 

neil what are you trying to dye?

I may have the parts you need....

 

The seat Back plastics, I want to color match them to the ebony interior panels. The are a shade lighter than the panels, when I put the ebony dash in and have these seat back plastics matching it'll all tie together. Graphite fabric surfaces and ebony plastic surfaces. Simple details like that is what gets the HOz at NOPI nationals. I hated how ghetto my first interior swap came out, trying to get this **** right the second time around. Also gotta finish this because all my interior stuff is taking up space, once I get it done, clean garage out so TA and C6 can live together.

 

I can say from experience this only has a slightly longer life than just any other rattle can finish. I did the rear sail panels in the 72 with the sem dye beginning of 2002 and by the end of 2004 they started peeling. I followed all the proper steps for surface prep. It just doesnt last long ,Ended up taking the panels to a bodyshop for prep and reshoot in a semi flat auto finish in 2005 and it still looks great with no signs of peeling.

 

Do they peel because of darkness since the 72 sits in storage, lol. Jk Joe.
