Red interior Paint or Dye Resto

A lot of my interior is looking more brownish red than the original red color. Has anyone used red upholstery paint or dye on these cars with success? If so what product did you use?

Yep. Search for Duplicolor. We've talked about it a few times.

I rattle canned my 350Z. It turned out pretty good.

i used the red dye paint out of a JCWhittney mag and it worked good, you brush it on like you stain a board, it came out catchup red color but its very close, you can also use it in a hobby spray gun (how i did most of my interior pieces)

i also bought some interior spray paint from advanced auto and that **** was weak!!! came out pink... i didn't lol at that

I'm still debating using the vinyl spray to change all the brown interior pieces in my 280Z to black.

I think I would go with black if my father had not purchased the red dash cap already and installed new red carpet.
