Re: Dye-ing seats

I Googled dyes a couple years ago and ended up talking to some place in L.A. I asked about a dye and he told me that I wasn't using the right term. He said it is a colorant that is applied to the surface, whether vinyl or leather. He said the process is to first clean the leather (in my case) with acetone before proceeding with the color. What I'm gonna color is a 2nd row seat from a '98 Tahoe, to go into my '69. This stuff doesn't spray on, so a 2nd color is possible for an accent, which is also what I'd like to do. I'll see if I can locate them, again. In my case, enough color to do my seat would run about $100. A lotta money compared to spray cans, I guess.
