I didnt know there was a dye? Do you have a website? You can dye plastics?....
But here are some cons about paint:
- somtimes sticky
- melts in heat(some)
- unless you are paranoid about who sits in your car, it will look like shit in 2 months.

K, I knew you could dye vinyl, but not plastics(right? I dont see how that could really 'soak' in and dye it)
thanks though, ill search for the heck of it wink1.gif

EDIT: I just searched....It comes in a can. They should make a dye where you could like fill up a tub or somthing with it and actually like soak your material in it, that would be cool.

The SEM dye is the preferred product, and it works VERY GOOD. SEM also makes a good can of textured spray so you can fill in any scratches and such before you paint.

I used normal spray paint (primered first), with engine 500 degree clear coat. It's held up perfectly for over 2 years now. Spray paint can work just fine if done correctly.
