Was wondering if any body has dyed there interior doors panels and how did it turn out ?? How did you do it ? It is just a beater car Thank you in advance
 
I’ve used Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric coating on an interior project (not Model A) a few years ago, I was really happy with the results
 
I bought 'Rit' dye for fabric, mixed with water with a spray bottle slightly rubbed it in with a damp cloth '''' perfect. it was a medium/dark brown powder mixed with water.
 
Again with a more 'modern car', if you are changing/correcting the colour of vinyl I highly recommend SEM products. I have been using them for years with great success.

I think for us to properly answer your question, it would be best to know what bodystyle you are referring to. Many open bodies (Roadster, Phaeton, etc.) originally used a dyed panelboard, so using a spray dye would likely do well. Some bodystyles used a leather covering on the doors. Certain types of leather can be re-colored successfully however others cannot. Other bodystyles used wool and broadcloth for door coverings, -and typically do not take dyes very well. Therefore knowing what you are working on allows us to give advice that is likely more accurate.
