Hi,

I want to paint/dye the centre console, under dash panel and glovebox to match the natural leather in my car - has anyone done a colour change like this on these bits? Anyone know a brandname for the stuff to use?

I remember aaaaages ago seeing this having been done in one of (i think) dips's cars, and I'm sure it can be done successfully, I just can't make teh internets throw up a good answer!

TIA

Doug

There used to be a product called vinylcote, for painting plastics. Not sure if its still available, but I remember that preparation was everything, otherwise it peels off afterwards.
Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!
