Hi all,

I'm sure that I've seen another thread along similar lines, but I can seem to find it...

Is there a way of re-colouring or completly changing the colour of the boot trim panels - apart from the good 'ole can of spraypaint?

I'm after a really nice lookin finish.

Will

vht vinal/carpet spray would do it easy. good stuff works wonders and never comes off.

Prolly still try the VHT Vinyl/Carpet dye maybe, epopel do the dashes and that with it, otherwise I guess paint.
Usually the fairmonts have carpeted ones but...
I'm actually mid way through dying all my carpeted bootlingings and that in the wagon black - ran out of cans of dye...

If they are the plastic ones then do the same as dash facias ,etc. - a good clean, couple of thin coats of plastic primer and then color of your choice using normal paint.
For "carpet" type liners use spray-on Vinyl & Carpet dye.
