Not as in with a hangover but as in to dye something another colour.

Fed up looking at my drab grey interior and have managed to pick up a black parcel shelf so have decided to go all out.

Seats aren't an issue, I'm on the lookout for a set of 80s black and white tiger print fluffy seat covers biggrin

I'm thinking more on the carpet and cloth trim on the door cards.

I've experimented with spray paint before. Turned out ok to look at but felt funny to the touch and I'd rather do a proper job on the wee Polo than a half assed attempt.

So who can recommend something? I've been thinking of mixing dye and water and putting it on with a spray bottle but I don't want it rubbing off on the elbows of my nice white shirt.

Very good lol.

The only way to learn is by trying things and see if they work. Believe it or not, I'm fairly competant with mechanical stuff and electrics, I completely rewired and changed every hydraulic pipe on a Citroen Xantia in 3 days! Just not much good at bodywork or upholstery stuff. As they say, every day is a school day!
