Last year I changed the black interior in my '71 GTO, back to it's original jade green color. I did a little research and found that it you wanted a paint, SEM was a good product. But, I had an interest in a dye. I contacted a company called Parasol in Canada. They make a dye type product which they claim penetrates to the chemical compound of the color you're trying to change. The change then takes on your color. Interesting. They could match the color I wanted, so I bought 10 cans at $20.00 each. Cans aren't very big. Followed their instructions and the interior turned out very nicely. No signs of premature wearing. I think this product does work very well. Better then SEM, not sure because I never used that product. Seems that SEM is a paint and more apt to lay on the surface with minimal penetration, where a dye goes deeper. The downside is, it's expensive. I ended up buying a total of 15 cans to do it right. That's my limited experience. I would use their product again.
