vinyl dye or paint

[Mark Evans <evansma@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,
Although you'll never get an exact match, you can get some vinyl dye mixed
up at your local auto paint store. That's an old trick used car dealers used
to do to cover worn carpets. I tried it myself on some carpet for my Polara.
I took in the kick panels and had them match to that. Wow! worked great.

You can usually get it put into an aerosol so you don't even need to dirty
your paint gun.
