Here's a link to the product that I use to vinyl dye vinyl:

In my opinion, they carry the TOP of the line vinyl dye.
The key to successful vinyl dye job is in the preparation time and materials that you put into it.
Make sure to wipe down ALL surfaces to be sprayed w/ paint thinner or rubbing alcohol. This step will remove oils, grime, residue from the surfaces... leaving them w/ a contaminent-free surface to spray the vinyl dye.
Wipe them down 2x to be sure, as you don't want to waste your money on a sub-par dye job.
The vinyl dye is about $6 / rattle can, so it's worth it to do it right the first time.

ok, but i wanna do the intire interior, not just the vinyl. i want to do the seats, which are cloth, and the carpet, then i'm gonna replace the trunk area carpet with **** carpet
so do i need something special for the cloth, or does vinyl dye work also on cloth?

You can just get seat covers if you got the money to spend, would look better and come out better just replacing them with the potential color you want rather then attempting to dye them. same for the rug, you can get all new rug for like $300 which will be the road I take when I get to the interior.

Plasti-Kote makes a product called 'Fabric Color' that comes in a rattle can. It's for use on carpet, velour & upholstery. I used it on an old cargo security cover with decent results.
