Thanks. Its just the powder RIT in black, only 1 type of this made. Got it from Walmart

I will be going over the leather part in SEM to make it fully black. By looking at the carpet, it seems pretty good, its drying right now so tomorrow I will be able to see!

Wait, someone said they used Rit dye to dye their leather....? Can someone chime in on this as well? Cause i'd like to see how that turns out.

Rit does not work on leather. Wouldnt dye the headliner.. the cardboard in it would probably distort heavily.


I forgot how long ago I did this. Its holding up fantastic... No issues whatsoever! Actually tomorrow I am doing my Supra's carpet. Funny I see this thread now.
