Re: [Chevelle-List] Looking for some parts
I have a black dyed (previously gold) dash on my Elky that I dyed 10 years ago or so and it still looks good so this works.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Looking for some parts
Just a note but a great
number of new car interior parts are painted - especially with something called
"soft touch paint". My guess is dye and paint, properly applied, would last as
long as the car.

I have a bundle of chrome I picked up at a swap meet and it might have the vinyl pieces in it. I will try to check when I go out again.
