Smile Dyeing a convertible boot-what is the best?

Hi guys,

I need your expertise indyeing my mint 65 convertible boot. I bought it off eBay years ago, and it is mint, but......it is dark brown!! Ouch. I want to dye it Parchment, to match the 65 Parchment interior. Who has the best dye (rattle can) and, is there a secret or two to doing this, other than ,thorough cleaning, priming,light coats (?). I am concerned about the stitching that is original. Since the thread is smaller diameter and the holes are small, what is the secret to making it look like original? I certainly do not want to clean out each
stitched area if possible. That would take forever. thanks Larry Banks
