Not bad for a girl huh????? lol... this is the first car I have tricked out like this. normally i do oem. I am truly enjoying this though. I want to make her a show car.

what you working on?

 

[cheryl923]

the dye process was much easier and quicker than the paint. the dye doesnt chip or buble. feel free to email me any time. I love to chat about cars and what people are working on. Plus I ask alot of questions.... as I am trying to get her ready to show. thanks for the comments.

so those pink parts from the dash were dyed?

 

[cheryl923]

Yes. It is a dye paint. It is what is used with oem parts for your dash and doors. It is put on with a paint gun. It was soooo easy to do and looks professional. The dye soaks into the leather or vyinl or whatever it is you are dying. Its better than the spray can paint because it doesnt chip. I think she looks real good. I have done some painting under the hood and a few other pieces.

talk to you soon

one question .......

[everblur]

Most likely ACE hardware would have it, badguy.

 

[badguy]

"material to dye vyinl?? PVC??"

 

[everblur]

Yeah.... well tell them you want dye and not paint.

nice pict..everblur..do u think we can dye it on charade dashboard? im thinking of red colour dashboard =)

 

[everblur]

spikyz, I'm not sure about the Charade dashboard material but I guess it all depends on the dye at well. Check if the dye can be used on plastic material.

Cheers :shades_smile:
