Where to get....?
Ok guys, I need something to permanently dye my seats, headliner and door cards black. At the moment they are red and I refuse to drive the car another mile until they are black.
What can I use and where can I get it? I need something that won't come off the seats on my backside, unlike that Halfords "Fabric Paint".

Si,
That red is something else isn't it!
makes it look like a right pimpmobile.
My suggestion for the headliner is to re-cover with new black fabric. Probably only a little more expensive than trying to paint over it, and it'll probably fall down round your ears as well. (I've changed mine, fairly easy job.)
I honestly don't know of any decent paint or spray on fabric paint that would'nt come off when your @rse is starting to sweat in the summer. So i'd suggest removing the covers and buying a normal fabric dye, and try that. Beast of a job to get on and off though (done that one too!).
The door cards you might be able to use a combination of vinyl spray and fabric spray with some success, or try and get some of a scrappy at Oldcott motors. There are a couple of Camaro's advertised as breaking in this months Classic American.

I can get the OEM nylon Tricot-faced foam headliner and sail panel upholstery off the roll in 60" widths, if you need it. It's available in black, two different blues, Carmine Red, Saddle (tan), and a medium gray. I'm certain it could be rolled/folded into a small container and shipped without damage. There is almost no mass to the material.
