Painting/Dying Interior Parts

[special-K]

I've done a good bit of interior dying, both vinyl upholstery and hard plastic parts on newer stuff. I've had great results. Now on my '95 I have some pieces I bought in the wrong color I want to match up, the glovebox door and the console which is the early style. Both have what appears to be a vinyl type coating, glovebox door face and console lid. That material retains dirt more, it's softer. Feels like you could dig your nails into it, kinda gummy feeling. I think bead blasting would be the best way to prep, but I don't have the means. I was thinking to sand on it all. I use an adhesion promoter on plastic and that's what I'll do here. I'm also going to use SEM vinyl and fabric dye.

Has anyone dyed any interior parts on these year trucks? If so, how did you go about it? Do you think my plans will work? I'd rather have them not match than have it start to fail. Any tips I'd be grateful to hear
