BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted January 15, 2014 Anyone know where I could get some cans of fabric spray paint in NZ? I'm wanting to give the sun faded alcantara parcel tray in my car some light mist coats to bring the colour back. thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did it harden the fabric on the shelf? I used some ages ago on my old 540i and it hardened the fabric. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 I'd probably look for a dye rather than a spray so that the fabric absorbs it rather than it sitting on the surface. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 might be a bit of trial and error that i'm not willing to do on the rear deck, so I'll probably buy a small piece of alacantara and try some light mist coats, as well as dying to see what is best.

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted January 16, 2014 ^^^ sounds like the way to go. I did a whole bunch of light coats, and it only hardened the fabric a little bit. I'm really not sure how well alacantara will react. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted January 17, 2014 Vht vinyl paint from repco or any auto paint store. Worked for my parcel tray and it doesn't affect the fabric at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This ^^ I did this on one my older cars using some black fabric dye, put it with a small amount of water in a squeezy bottle sprayer thing and sprayed it on all of the fabric trim and seats, came up really well and never came off or marked clothes etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
