I am thinking I want to dye my white interior to more of a dark gray. What is involved in getting this done and how much does it run? I am not sure it is something I'd even want to bother to try myself. Anyone had this done? Any info is much appreciated.

Ha ha, it's amazing how often I forget about that search function. I'll be sure to check those out as soon as I get home tonight. Thanks for finding those for me. I'll have to remember the search option for next time.

Just in case you get lost here's a few ideas. Dying is pretty easy but you have to remember to clean the vinyl and plastic thoroughly with the appropriate cleaner. You need to remove all oils and especially the residue left by Armorall and other protectants.You can have almost any stock or custom color dye mixed by most automotive paint suppliers and spray it yourself with the $4 "do it yourself" sprayers found at most hardware stores. Or you can use the canned variety from the auto parts stores. If you follow directions, things should look pretty good.

My interior was dyed myself, two years later still looks awesome...
