I dyed my rear seats using Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric gloss black, they still look good.. I also used it on my carpet, it didn't hold up so well. For the front seats I just got black covers.

first, please use entire words to express yourself. We are not a community of texting ricer idiots here.

second, the spray dye will work but it will most likely fade over time especially on a "high traffic" area like your front seat. Also if you don't have another vehicle to drive for a few days plan on wearing only black as the dye sets in.

That's what I meant, and I'm not the only one around here that will harp on proper spelling instead of the "texting" style, I'm just the guy that pointed it out. I'm not tryng to be an ass, just trying to keep the community intelligent. :thumbsup

as for the french, Je parle francais un petit peu. :P

back to dyeing seats, since you're starting on a faded black it shouldn't fade fast, you just might need to do some touchup on the higher wear spots from time to time, IE: the side bolsters on the door side that you rub when you get in and out of the car.
