Leif in Calif Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 I wonder if J C Whitney still sells that spray on upholstery dye? I remember using some about 1979. It actually looked pretty nice but I did discover it could be a problem if you wear white pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the name of the stuff I used was Mar-Hyde. According to the Garage Journal 3M bought them out and that was the end of the spray vinyl dye. They do mention the name of another company. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/what-happened-to-mar-hyde-vinyl-dye.356384/ Edited March 23, 2023 by Fossil (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
