Message	One of the things that I have always disliked about the interior of our cars is that the "black" is really a charcoal gray. As our cars age that can start to look faded and I have never liked the contrast between the charcoal interior parts with the true black parts such as the radio bezel. Example: so I have started researching ways to change the interior color to black and not have it look "cheap" I came across this website which sells dyes for plastics instead of paint [ http://www.parasolinc.com/dyes_paints.asp ] and order some of their products... I got around to trying it last night and am fairly pleased with the results after my first round of experimentation. I am going to order a couple of different versions of black and once i get the color i like best am strongly considering removing my interior interior and dying it all black... Ill post pics of the next round when available My Space Red Point Fitness Madhatter10-6: 1991 Twin Turbo Stage: Sneaky
