I had a blue/grey (really faded so not sure) headliner in there that I used the fabric dye on. It sunk in and didn't do the greatest job at dying it. It was kind of a faded black look. I ended up painting it with spray paint and that turned out looking good but feels crunchy if you touch it. It wasn't the best decision, but it does for now. It's not like I touch it.

I used Rustoleum Fabric and Vinyl Dye. All I had to dye was the (blue) center arm rest but it turned out looking better than the original black dash.

I used satin black on the plastic and it looks great and is holding up great thus far. I ended up painting 1/2 of the black pieces anyways due to fading. There's probably about 4 pieces that didn't get dyed/painted.
