Dash pad dye?

Is there a way to dye a dash pad to get it looking new again?

If so has any one used it and how well does it hold up?
Thanks
David

Dash pad dye?

Don't know about using a dye, but I've always used vinyl paint that you can have mixed at automotive paint suppiers(such as Dupont). Just make sure you clean & prep the dash pad so you'll have good adheasion to the vinyl. Those mini airless spray guns do a excellent job of applying it. I did the dash on my Ranger 2 years ago & it still looks good.
