hmmm, ive always heard about people dyeing their int. parts.... i kinda always thought it'd be more of a dyeing process and not like spray painting, lol.
looks easy though. so i guess its just a matter of the spray you use? need a specific dye spray.

SEM makes the best dye bar none we have thier products on the site already but that is all we use here!
should be 'how to spray paint'
Armor all isn't a solvent. What you use to remove armor all is the solvent
Make sure if you do this to use an adhesion promoter as a primer:

or it'll chip off in a few months of use, even with the clear coat

Thanks for your opinions,
Just some light background here I have done this for a living for 10+ years and reset colors on nearly 2500 parts per year of the 2500 parts per year we have had maybe 5 items come back per year. (It is safe to say I know what the hell I am doing. (LOL I better I suppose after this long.)
We offer the promoter although I am not a fan as I have had issues with it and the SEM then NOT sticking as well.

I only have a few things to contribute to this. I agree about not using the promoter: A.) it isn't necessary at all if you do the prep work properly, and B.) it is just one of those additional products that people try to tack on to other products they sell to make more money.
Solvents like paint thinner and dewax work, but they can leave residue. My recommendation is to first wash your parts in the sink like dishes using Dawn dish soap. If they aren't new and came off a car, they are not only dirty anyway, but the Dawn removes grease and oil and wax very very well. The next prep step is to use 95% isopropyl alcohol and clean white cloth from old t-shirts to wipe them down thoroughly...and use Q-tips dipped in the alcohol to get in crevices and hard to reach spots.
Alcohol is not only really cheap, but it is a great solvent for water based and oil based residues...and it evaporates clean, meaning it leaves no residue of its own.
SEM also sells a wide range of colors that do not come in a spray can. They can also color match and make custom colors. Preval sprayers are little compressed air spray canisters that screw onto a bottle that you put the paint in. The spray produced is even finer than what you get in any spray can, and both the kits and additional canisters are extremely cheap.
