dying the grey swuede

Has anyone dyed the swuede on their car? Mine has some spots on the passenger dash and on the doors. I think it could probably be dyed to look good. If it were dyed, my svx would look new inside. Anyone tried this? Thanks.

Haven't heard of anyone trying.

The escaine can be replaced. I don't know how a synthetic would take dye.

Splotchy fabric + dye = darker splotchy fabric.

If replacing, Escaine fabric is now called Alcantra or Ultrasuede. Costs about $85.00 a yard. Gulf Fabrics in Tampa, Florida is one source.
