Re: [FWDLK] [Chrysler300] vinyl dye and stuff

[Dave Stragand <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used the stuff in spray cans (generally PlastiKote brand) on many
vehicles over the years, and have never had any issues.  Like any
painting job, surface preparation is the key.  I always scrub the
surface with acetone and paper towels until the vinyl starts to become
slightly tacky.  Then I let it dry for a little while, and spray on the
vinyl 'dye'.

I have been told that the vinyl 'dye' isn't dye per se, but actually
just vinyl in a spray can.  You are actually applying a new layer of
vinyl to the old surface.

I dyed a black dashboard to a carmel color about 15 years ago, and it
has never flaked, discolored or rubbed off.

John -

Did you use the dye or the stuff in the spray cans ?
