Dyeing interior parts
 

I love seeing how the parts turn out after freshening them up with some dye!

Nice work!

What’s the process your using looks good!

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Clean & prep is the key. I clean the parts with Dawn & hot water. Then I use the SEM Soap with the scour pad. The SEM soap is the little blue bottle. Then use the appropriate Prep, wether it’s vinyl or plastic. Then the Adhesive Promoter. While that is still wet on the parts, lay down the first light coat of dye. Let that dry and then follow with additional coats, dry time in between.
If your dyeing the same color as the parts, it will only take a few coats. But if your changing the color of the parts, it will take a lot more dye to cover completely.

Have you ever re textured any trim pieces? If so what kind of texture did you use?

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Not yet, but I have a few pieces that I think need that done to them. I will post it up, as soon as I try it out.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Looking forward to it. I've seen a few companies that make the spray on texture but haven't seen many results.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Did more parts today. 84-87 Grille, more seat parts and got the visors back together. I take the little stainless steel pieces off for the dyeing, then I polish them up before putting them back on the visors.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Looking good! Nice work.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Yes, those all look new! What color do you use for the grills? I have a '77 grill that is quite faded and could use a refresh. I can't tell if it was a light light gray or a silver originally.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Argent silver is the correct color.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Which SEM paint color did you use for charcoal interior? I dont see that option in there colors was it just black?

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

I don’t use SEM anymore. They have discontinued so many of our colors for our trucks. And the colors they do have, you have to guess which one will match. So several years ago, I started using the dye from USA1 Industries. They have all the correct colors, even the hard to find colors. If you look up in the post #4, I use all those SEM products for the prep. Last bottle is the Dye from USA1 Industries, and the color I used, is Charcoal. You can get every one of these colors from them.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

You're welcome. Just be patient and do all the prep steps. Good Luck. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Re: Dyeing interior parts
 

Really nice job.

For texture has anybody tried spraying on Duplicolor Truck bedliner? Then painting to match?
