I've read about many of the folks on here using it fairly extensively on interior parts, and have just been waiting on an opportunity to give it a try. I thought the kick panels might be my SEM test bed, but then I ended up getting the new ones. The duct, however, will be the ticket.

Today I ordered a boxful of SEM products and I now have until this Saturday to figure out how to use the stuff. It seems like prep is pretty important with the SEM dye, at least based on what I have read so far. I'm sure I bought more than I need, but I have relieved Summit Racing of SEM Soap, SEM Vinyl Prep, SEM Sand Free and the Landau Black.

I could use some help on just how to use the SEM Dye. If someone can give a few tips I would be grateful.
Chean the surface really good, use the vinyl prep and do not spray on too thick when dyeing.. Try and use a few of coats as possible of the Landau black . The thicker it gets the more it starts to clump up and you loose the natural looking effect. that SEM product is the ticket when applied correctly. I second the Landau as being the right choice for black interiors...
