So I have brought a tidier leather interior for my sorry turd, but its cream/tan

Also my existing carpets are grey

I want it all black!

What carpet dye do I need and what products and process do I need to go through to dye the leather?

Thanks in advance

Search time - there was something quite a while ago about dying carpets black!!!

I bought the same/similar dye and only ever got round to doing the boot panels, but it's easy enough - just a bit messy with me involved!!!

Do these look like the right sorts of products?

Gonna have a go, worst case I ruin an interior and just carry on with a knackered one!

For Leather dyes have a look at www.furnitureclinic.co.uk it can work on vinyl but is easier rubbed off than leather.

On vinyl your better to use a vinyl paint. Dupli-color does a very goo flexible paint which i have used. It is supposed to work on carpets to.
