I hate my tan interior....dye it black

I want to change my interior to black. I was hoping to dye the seat and interior panels black. I know it's been done but I want to know if this dye can be purchased at any auto parts store. If so any suggestions on a particular kind. Thanks guys.

the car is going to be yellow or white real soon. It's not about the money. I'm more concerned with the interior panels that i am the seat. The seat I have in it now is going too. I'm going to replace the seat with a racing seat of some kind. The passenger seat is already out of the car. I DO like the tan interior given that the whole inside was the same. Mazda kinda made the car half tan/ half black on the inside. Otherwise I would just keep it as is.

Yup agree with you. I'm also changing my car to yellow (not CYM though) and I have a tan interior. Luckily I have a 94 and only the seats and the carpet are tan not the whole cabin.

oh god do I feel sorry for those with 93's that have a tan interior...The color clash is just awful, i.e. the way the door meets up with the dash. Also since most of the cabin is tan it's almost blinding when you look in there

finally someone agrees with me. hahahha. Like I always say: "to each their own" I was just looking for some help on choosing a dye or something along that line that would give me the best results possible. I wasn't asking for opinions. Otherwise I would have asked for them. Not flaming, so don't trip.
