Have black carpet coming from a Christmas present. So I figured I better start dyeing the rest of the interior. I uses duplicolor vinyl and fabric spray with there adhesion promoter. I'm really happy with the results. So I wanted to post pictures of the results on here for those that might be thinking about it. Here's the before and after.

Looks like a pretty good result. How much prep is involved? About how long did it take?

Removal of the dash is kind of time consuming. That took me about 3 hours, but it was the first time Ive done it. So there was a learning curve. I wasn't rushing any thing, but I have about 6hrs. cleaning and painting. You could knock it all out in a weekend if u stay at it.
As far as prep I start with warm water and dish soap to cut the years of grit and grime. Next I mix alcohol and water in a spray bottle, and spray the part down really well. I've heard people in the past day that alcohol evaporates to fast to do any good, so mix it with water. I don't know if it slows it down but it's my theory. Then I always make sure to use the adhesion promoter as directed on the label. Finally I paint the part.
IMO prep is what determines final result. So take your time cleaning. No special tools just elbow grease.
