I just used Eastwood's product about two years ago to redo a vinyl top on a Mini-Moke. It lasted about 6 months, but it was exposed continuously to the sun and salt in the West Indies.

YMMV

Back in college I used it to turn a 73 TR6 Pimento Red&  Russet into a
Pimento Red&  Black car.  It lasted the entire time I owned the car (6
years), with the top down 85% of the time and 4 summers in Columbia,  SC's
blistering sun.

As with all paints and dye, surface prep is key, Zero Armor All residue, a
good
alcohol scrub down before application.

Has anyone used vinyl die/paint on upholstery?

The guy spraying my Mk1a Tiger put a considerable dusting of green paint
onto
the top boot, which
is black.

He says not to worry, he can easily spray black paint/dye two cover the
overspray of green.

I don't see this pieced in the catalog of our suppliers -- so a
replacement is
probably not an option.

I can't help but speculate that such paint or dye would not appear original
and would not last.

But I have no experience with it.

TIA,
