Need some input or thoughts, i have found a few dashes locally but so far nothing blue, I have found several gray ones so has anyone had good luck with dyes for interior plastic, if so what brand and where did you get it, I would like something extremely close to the factory blue so I dont have to pull all of my trim back out and dye it all.

Youre not gonna find anything in a rattle can.no matter what they say,its never close.go to an auto paint supply or a body shop.they can mix up paint specifically for what youre doing in the factory colors.prep the parts right and the paint will never come off.

Was hoping you were talking about seats cuz id love to have black interior in my truck

Depending on when you got it,supply houses can now mix and can their thier own colors.SEM also has it.ive never had any luck with the rattle can stuff.either didnt match or started flaking off in 6months

These are the closest you will ever get to matching the factory colors.

Getting the surface cleansed and degreased thoroughly is imperative to allow the product to adhere properly and that's going to determine how long it'll last.
