Plastic Dye is it worth a dang?
Has anyone ever used plastic dye on car parts? Does the color come out good and leach or scratch off easy?

Some guys have had good results (with pics) with Duplicolor Interior Trim spray and Crylon plastic spray. Seemed to just spray in even coats and let dry.

SEM spray cans are the best. I haven't tried because they're not available in France, but that's what most restorers use in the US. A good prep job is necessary for long lasting results.

Re: Plastic Dye is it worth a dang?
I've only used the black, but I love the Krylon Fusion products. I have never had a run in it and it does a great job bringing those blacks back to where they should be. Also used it recently to change a neutral console over to black to better match the interior of my TA. Worked like a charm and doesn't chip.
