Vinyl and Carpet Dye
#1
Have noticed on other Forums re changing colour of vinyl and carpets.
You have to use a carpet/vinyl dye not paint.
VHT is best brand but has been in short supply lately due to a factory fire.
Distributed by Speco Thomas.
Have used it on 5-6 Kombi seats, door and side panels as well as hoodlinings.
Read instructions and make sure surface is clean and free from grease.
Rub over gently with soft cloth after 24 hours.
The product is very good and was used by Ford Motor Co in original GT Falcons as they could not get black at time and dyed brown seats from Fairmont models .
You do not use PAINT on seats or door trims.
We have also tried other brands but no where near as good.

The Rod and Custom guys also use this very successfully and many restorers.

This is the VHT link with list of colours

I second that!

I have used the VHT products, with great success in the past, and also recommend them.

Couldn’t find any black door cards, so resprayed a coloured set for the single cab to black, and still wearing fine.
