I have a 1986 cadillac fleetwood brougham with a vinyl top which is in good condition but i want to use dye and change the color. How can i do this? I know where to purchase the materials but I need advice/tips. Check out the pics.

Well, i bought some dye from JC whitney once, but it was of poor quality, and ended up drying funny in some spots. So i suggest you don't use theirs.

Dying the vinyl a different color will work best if the new color is darker than the old color, obviously. If it isn't, it may take a few coats to completely change the color, and if that stuff cakes up on you, it looks nasty.

Rit Dye works really well on fabrics, maybe you should try that
