Changing the color of interior plastic.....

Apart from primer and paint is there a better way to change gray plactic to black? I really don't like the idea of chips or comes off when touched or hit.

What products are there and where can I get them?

Spray-can vinyl dye works from what I hear. Duplicolor is one of the brands I see mentioned the most.

However, I've never tried those myself, so you may want to hear it from another forum user who has.

from what everyone says it dont matter what you use, sooner of later its going to start chipping and looking like crap, you will wish you left it alone.
the only thing you can do is replace yours with black interior.

The Duplicolor dye stuff works.

This topic has been argued/covered countless times.
