Looking to get a red dashboard and steering wheel

I have been trying to find a red dash board and steering wheel for my 1969 cutlass s. I still have the original dashboard which is gold. My steering wheel is gold also, but the plastic is cracked and broken Any ideas where I can get a red dashboard or/ and steering wheel or convert them to red?

Sem vinyl dye is pretty popular for plastics and rugs etc. Use good prep. Ive used the duplicolor stuff on rugs w no issues.

Exactly. If your dash is clean. Paint it. The steering wheel will be a small project.

When you say rugs do you mean carpet ? I have a red carpet going to try brown on it.

Yes carpet. I used duplicolor to dye my door carpet black. It had faded to an off brown the duplicor is cheap compared to SEM so i tempered my expectations but it came out very good. Even the windlace like trim at the edge dyed well and evenly.

in the past ive used SEM to go from green to blue and from green to black, very happy w coverage and durability in both cases.
