ABS Plastic Dye..

wreckless123 · Dec 2, 2006

Anyone have any experience with VHT Dye products? I am changing the color of my headliner and of course I have to paint or dye my tan pieces as the rear hooks, visor hardware and center message center. I was going to do Fusion but figured I would spend a few minutes looking into dye. I have had good luck with Fusion but with all the moving pieces of the message center a dye would be a better choice. Here is a link to one of their products which is called a vinyl dye but can also be used on ABS plastic.

Here is a write-up of a guy who painted his computer cases and misc things on his computer.

Where can I find the stuff? I've been to every auto parts store, wal-mart, lowes, etc. I know I can get it online but the shipping would be as much as the paint.

Try autozone. You'll have to order it from their catalog, and pay when you order, but they should be able to get it.

What you used is not dye, its a "Coating". Its basicly paint. I saw that stuff before I did mine but shyed away from anything calling itself a coating..

From the can:

Dress up or add life to your interior vinyl and fabric with Dupli-Color® High Performance Vinyl & Fabric Coating.
