I changed some blue sun visors to black for my '66 convertible 3 or 4 years ago. Now I suppose black will cover about anything with better results than some other colors, but I found this pretty easy. They still look great.
 
I used a spray can of vinyl dye that I got at the local shoe repair shop. I am happy with the results, and wish that everything I have tried on the car went this good! I have not tried this on anything else other than the visors, but probably will. We're honing the cylinders on the 396 block for the hardtop now, and the engine is getting close to going back together. The interior is totally gutted, so we will be starting from scratch. I think maybe I'll be turning some other things black in the near future!
 
By the way, Merry Christmas to all. May God bless your holidays richly.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Dying Vinyl & Misc Interior Pieces

Hey Guys

Does anyone have any insight on dying vinyl or hard plastic pieces.  What is the best way to go about it and whose products work the best.  I am looking to change the interior color in my 69 Charger from green to tan.  Its more the seats that I am concerned about.  Normally I would just get some new covers and have em redone, except they have already been redone and are in perfect condition.  I didn't really want to go and spend money where I don't need to on this car simply because of the fact that mopar stuff is really expensive.  Any insight is appreciated.

By the way, I am slowly but steadily making progress on the 69 Malibu.  i cut the 1/4's off yesterday and sometime this week I will finish strippin down the doors/truck lid/hood.  I have to replace the rear outer whell houses too.  Hopefully I can get it ready to go to the body shop by the end of January.  I'll keep posting my progress.
Happy Holidays!!

Tom
