Well it looks a very good job to me. Probably vinyl dye rather than paint would be the go. Got me thinking as I have buckets of the spray on dye.

I don't think rubber mats would absorb dye after they are cured. They were painted originally....

I used a Black spray die on my Austen lancer seats back in the day my wife ( girlfriend ) then wore white slacks they quickly turned to grey that would be 53 years ago :helleyes: :helleyes:

Don't make it too good you wont be able to bring yourself to sell it ......
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

they promise you the whole and give you pretty much zippo.. one house has just auctioned my friends E37 6 pac, said " ohh we have a buyer at $185k" when the car went to the house the buyer mysteriously didn't show for pre-auction evaluation and inspection as promised, car went to auction, made $132k, no sale. he called a certain car sale website that specializes in classics and muscle cars and boom even without advertising car was sold within 24hrs as per price wanted,
Although i think the stories in the listings are more creative than a Spielberg movie, if you have a good classic or muscle car, you would be silly not to use them IMHO
