I'm an upholsterer, and have used this product numerous times. I use professional dyes such as SEMs and Color Bond. The reason I recommend the Dupli Color brand is because it etches the material you're working with well. It is one of few manufactures that is an acetone dye which allows it to bite into the vinyl surface well. SEMs use to provide it yet have switched to the popular Color Bond method for coverage and build properties.
Like I said this product is a lacquer and Sim is an elastomeric they're two completely different types of products. I'm going to test this product and see how well it holds up
I have several expensive kitchen chairs that are wooden but the back and the seats at first I thought were leather ; but , now I'm not sure if they're leather or vinyl ... and usually I can tell the difference . I'm hoping to Die the black into a sort of a bronze look if that's possible . And if a metallic look is not available then perhaps ... a Chinese red lacquer look .
@@gardensofthegods vinyl if you nick it you will see a back end like cloth... leather will have a back end scruffy and usually rips off when u brake the front of it.
@@alflopez5788 did your paint feel a bit coarse to the touch? I am using the same paint on my boat seat but the texture is not smooth at all like the original vinyl
I use this stuff on WHITE WALL Tires too. Use a blow dryer or heat gun to warm up the rubber or existing WW, then apply White Plastidip as the base coat, let cure then apply the White Vinyl Coats and makes WWs look AWESOME. And the Oils can’t seep through due to the plasti Dip base. Just a helpful tip to all Hot rod or motorcycle enthusiasts.
I’ve been told to spray white first on any dark color, then the color you want over the white. I tried it this way, and it works way better. Just something to consider. Anything but carpet!!
John Beer Funny you mentioned house painting. A few years back l wanted to paint a house a lighter color over beige but always liked the idea of a good primer first. A friend of mine said to just paint two coats of the color you want and your done. I asked him wouldn’t it be better to lay down an expensive tinted primer like zinzer first, then paint one or two coats over that? He being in the handyman trade said I guess you could do that. I started laughing at him while thanking him at the same time.
I've done several semi truck interiors, and I absolutely cannot stress adhesion promoter enough. If you really want long term results, use the adhesion promoter.
I have a vintage car and due to lack of interior panels, I have been using this product to redye both the vinyl and carpet material on almost about every surface. I would reccomend it, however only if a home respray is the only way to go. It will undoubtedly leave a scratchy crackly crispy feeling to any carpet or felt.
Great vid, thanks. I painted a tan thick vinyl roof top tent cover grey from tan. It's held up to folding, dragging on gravel and has only required a few minor touch-ups over 5 years.
Most people are going to try to cover tan or brown with black or grey. Carpet kits are cheap for most vehicles. It's all the 100s of plastic parts on the interior that are cost prohibitive to replace.
If you want to dye faded cloth seats. Buy some rit liquid die. Water it down with some distilled water and dab the seat with a clean sponge. Only problem is it needs like a week to dry or it'll stain your clothes.
Pretty thorough test, thanks. It seems like its best suited for hard interior parts, as opposed to soft bendy parts or fabric. Still an impressive product.
solid test... It does an excellent job on vinyl surfaces, looks like factory.... so so on actual fabric, will tend to get hard so, it will need to be brushed ... don't bother with carpet as mentioned as with anything, you will need to degrease everything you paint for better adhesion
I think it’s great that you made the video my friend, after all, I was looking for someone that had reviewed this very product ....and I appreciate it. I’m pretty sure, however, that the same rules apply here as in all mixing of colors in the art world. And that is you can make a light color darker, but you catch hell making a dark color lighter
Perfect perfect perfect! Thank you for this- I’m actually looking to paint vinyl roller skates and the durability test is EXACTLY what I needed to know!! Falls on rough surfaces and what not is gonna be hard on the paint I don’t wanna have to touch it up every use
This is exactly what I was looking for. Restoring the interior of an old Dart, didn't know whether to choose matte or gloss black so this was perfect! Thanks
The interior of my blazer at the end was all covered with the gloss black. I have another video up of painting one of the interior parts with the gloss as well. Glad this was helpful!
If you want to change the color of your interior, especially carpet and you're going from a dark to a light color rethink your decision, or put new carpet in and have your seats reupholstered. This stuff is best used to repair an area, or to refresh and enhance the same color. What sane person puts white carpet in a car anyway. The carpet will be crunchy and fabric seats will feel funny. It's a good product used properly. Make sure you clean the area to be sprayed with a vinyl prep and even though this product contains adhesion promoters in it I lay a separate first coating of an adhesion promoter down first.
Used the black over a cream colored dash. Covered good. Later when i touched it up.,it made the cream colour come back, the more black i put on the more cream showed up. Scratch head.
The test looks great. I have used this on my vinyl seats and carpet, following the instructions. They look great, BUT after a month of daily use, where the seat had cracks they came back, showing the original underlying color. Regarding the carpet, it starts fading, coming off where there is any rubbing, like where my feet touch the carpet in regular driving, even under the floor mats that surely slightly move. I am wondering if the SEM version, which seems to be a different material, might be more durable.
Thank you for testing white and red. I was thinking of fabric painting my car's black carpets blue. I see with the carpet results its a bad idea. And no I dont want to spray paint black on black carpets because the interior is too dark already.
Damn, that is seriously impressive! I was thinking painting a black guitar case grey to better match a vintage look and wow, this looks as if it will be a great option! Thanks!
I used the black on a pair of canvas shoes that were grey but faded to weird brown, they turned out a really nice deep velvet looking black and also waterproofed them. It's not just for automotive uses
Thanks for doing this! I recently painted my roof lining black in my Liberty using the Matte Black Vinyl & Fabric which turned out great. Now I am considering doing a dual-tone interior with the Red Vinyl & Fabric paint but was unsure as to how bright it would look and how well it would adhere to the black soft touch plastic door trim. After seeing this I feel more confident to give it a shot. Worst comes to worst will just buy new door trims but am hoping for decent results! Cheers!
The paint type of this product is lacquer, and also like lacquer the directions say that it will melt onto an old layer. So yes you can layer any color on top of it of the same product
According to their website it says that this is a lacquer. it says scuff up the surface area with red Scotch-Brite or 600 grit, it says that this product has built-in adhesion promoter. Probably wouldn't hurt to use adhesion promoter anyways. I would test it on a spare piece
I have wanting to paint my chocolate brown faux leather headboard. Your video was just what I needed to see. Good-Bye masculine headboard (he's out of the picture), and hello to my themed beach inspired headboard. Thanks a bunch :-)
Ran across this post as I was researching how to DYI coated black jeans. I see in the comments you wrote it's not for clothes, but I think I'll experiment anyway.
My fake leather couches are peeling really bad. I was thinking of just taking all of the fake leather off and painting with these cans. What do you think?
I have recently used it on a pwc seat, for the life of me i can not get rid of tiger stripes, i have extensive experience with rattle cans . I did a 50/50 lap with opposing passes grom 6/8" away...still getting stripes
I'm going to try this on the seat on our boat. It's in the sun all the time and it is going to get wet!! Thoughts??? The material is in GREAT condition, it's just faded in certain areas from exposure.
I used to bring back color in my 1929 Model-A Rumble seat that had faded in the sun. Many light coats to keep the fabric soft and I have not gotten any to rub off. Not sure I would use it on leather or hard surface,
Can this product be used on the Engine Hood Liner? I've been told to use a fire-resistant paint but haven't found anything that's close to being described as that. Thanks!
I LOVE THAT SHINY RED VINYL PIECE YOU PAINTED. I DONT LIKE THE COLOURS IN MY HOUSE. THEY ARE NOT MY COLOURS AT ALL. AND THAT BLACK STRIP OF CARPET YOU PAINTED RED IS THE PERFECT COLOUR FOR ME. I LIKE A DARK RED CARPET. THANKS FOR THE DEMO. I MIGHT EVEN JUST PUT PATTERNS ON MY UGLY GREY CARPET.
Soap + water in a spray bottle shop vac' & some carpet cleaner that's foam ......you can also use foam glass cleaner where ever no stains are you want cleaned still and use a actual soil extraction carpet cleaner in really bad cars them hit it with a light coat of foam glass cleaner and shop vac it!... let dry for 4days then paint!
Thanks for the testing. I can promise. Carpet, even mass load backed is cheap. I just replaced all my carpet in a full size crew cab truck for $350. The die is best used to repress the same color carpet.
Wow! I should be SOLD on this stuff if it can handle the "Stress Test" YOU put it through, but I have a question: Will this paint adhere to RUBBER without flaking off? Do you know? What would you recommend for painting some details on thick, black rubber gloves?
I've learned on door panels and seats such as paint the better you prep and clean the surface the longer it will last. A light sanding to plastic and vinal will also help. I didnt clean my door panels very well and it's warn out where I rest my arm my customers like it cause I can fix their interior cheaper then actually doing the job carpet though alot of the time is cheeper to just replace with the color you want or give it a die bath
I'd like to spray this into a container and use a brush to change the color of my seatbelts. Extend the seatbelt fully and tie it to hold it extended and carefully apply 2 or 3 coats to the visible side of the belt. Does it sound like it could work?
@@MechanicLife I should have mentioned that I would like to do this without removing the seatbelts from the car. Just extend them fully and paint them with a brush. Does this sound do-able?
finally someone reviewing it the proper way... i searched like 2 hrs finding a "after use" result/expectation... so duplicolor vinyl & texture is just actually Vinyl and plastic... and vinyl just for like stuff u don't touch... otherwise will flake off.. thanks for letting us know... il just buy new leather then, ... however did u try using a primer for vinyl and texture + paint vinyl and texture + sealer vinyl and texture? i think applying just paint no primer no sealing will make paint not stay in the same shape that long...
Great review but I think it doesn't make a good comparison of carpet v fabric. I wish you would have done a car seat suede instead. But still thank you, I know what I will use for vinyl !!!
I am putting a trans temp gauge in an Autometer A-pillar pod in my Tahoe. The pod comes in black plastic as molded from the factory. I have a tan interior in the truck. I figured I'd use the Dupli-Color to paint the pod to match the interior trim. So much for thinking that would work. Neither of the Dupli-Color tan or beige was even close. I ended up using a can of Rustoleum that is a newly released color that was close, but not quite, the color of the plastic A-pillar trim. I probably would have been better of going to the hobby shop and getting some modeling paint from Tamiya.
What are your thoughts on using this product on a nine lawn material like what’s on a tent? If you’re trying to change the color of a tent without having to use a dye, and if you want to paint it instead, get more of a camo effect.
You’ll never get good coverage over a dark color. You should have tried painting black on a light color. A large number of cars have a tan interior, would love to see black going on tan carpet.
For a carpet you would b better off dyeing it or replacing it ...It would cost you more money and trouble to paint ..I'm 2 try it out on vinyl .and leather.. does it last on vinyl rubber door panel handles
Excellent tests, I was just starting with some of this on my interior faded plastics and after watching your vid will stick to just that lol.. buy carpet and seats :)
Would this work on a vinyl top that's on a 1982 Lincoln car? Its a rusty red color and the rest of the car is a beige white. I would love to match it up.
I would think it would be fine. You would need to clean the hell out of it though before applying. There is so much external junk that gets on cars all the time... What is the weather like where you live? That would be the biggest concern is how well it would hold up in the changes in temp/exposure to direct sunshine. I guess you could touch it up with more paint;)
Montana Made I am working on my 2008 Dodge Charger it’s my weekend car since I payed it off lol I ripped all of the interior out except the headliner witch I know is gonna suck. Question do you have to prime the headliner and plastics?
So far pretty well. I actually tried that out on a few parts a long time ago and didn't have any issues. I would be curious how it holds up in direct sunlight though.

Most people are going to try to cover tan or brown with black or grey. Carpet kits are cheap for most vehicles. It's all the 100s of plastic parts on the interior that are cost prohibitive to replace.
Glad you did this . I’m changing my vinyl top from off white to desert tan . At $13.00 a can vs $29.00 a can . I’m going with your brand .

Its been about 2 months and I wear them every day
No, use Rit
Can you use this on polyester??
Haven't tried it.
For a carpet you would b better off dyeing it or replacing it ...It would cost you more money and trouble to paint ..I'm 2 try it out on vinyl .and leather.. does it last on vinyl rubber door panel handles
So far its been holding up really well on the vinyl and rubber parts. Just make sure to clean the heck out of them before hand.
Will this work for faux leather couch? Thank you for any help guys.
Yes, faux leather aka vinyl
Excellent tests, I was just starting with some of this on my interior faded plastics and after watching your vid will stick to just that lol.. buy carpet and seats :)
Thanks! Yes, buy carpet for sure.
Can Fabric & Vinyl paint be used on a metal surface?
Would this work on a vinyl top that's on a 1982 Lincoln car? Its a rusty red color and the rest of the car is a beige white. I would love to match it up.
I would think it would be fine. You would need to clean the hell out of it though before applying. There is so much external junk that gets on cars all the time... What is the weather like where you live? That would be the biggest concern is how well it would hold up in the changes in temp/exposure to direct sunshine. I guess you could touch it up with more paint;)
Does.dupil.color make the paint in brush & roll.style of the carpet and vinal.
I have an old 60's eat in booth at my house. It's mauve purple color leather type material. Think this stuff would work?
Has some potential. Maybe there is some extra fabric wrapped around a joint or under it you could test it on first.
Is there a blue color?
How durable is it as to cleaning it? Will it rub off when I go to detail my interior?
It was very easy to clean. I didn't have any issue with it rubbing off.
I bought the red and it came out like drips that’s why I had to come here to see if it was supposed to do that
No the paint or nozzle is probably defective
What would you suggest for a Bimini boat cover/canvass? Thanks!
Does this paint smell? If you were to spray some seats in a car does it smell like paint after?
Surprisingly didnt after a day or two. It was even in the hot sun and I didnt have problems with offgassing.
@@MechanicLife Excellent
Can this be used on leather car seats
I dont know. Havent tried it yet. Maybe try on a scrap piece of leather first and see how it holds up.
Can you use this in homes when someone has bleach stains on their carpets?
You have to neutralize the bleach first then add the proper dye.
It can be done but requires a lot of skill and products.
Do you need to use primer before painting ??
No, use an adhesion promoter
Can it be use to paint seat belts?
I have used it on seat belts yet. I had pretty good luck with it too.
any good for steering wheel?
These are really best to recolor a faded vinyl or carpet.
will this work on an exterior vinyl top?
I know this is a old video BUT have you tried using the white as a primer for the red???
I havent. Not a bad idea.
wish me luck man i doing this next Saturday on my day off.
Good luck! What are you trying this on? Would highly highly recommend trying it on a test piece if you have it.
Montana Made I am working on my 2008 Dodge Charger it’s my weekend car since I payed it off lol I ripped all of the interior out except the headliner witch I know is gonna suck. Question do you have to prime the headliner and plastics?
Thanks for the video looking at using this on a motorcycle seat. Any idea how it holds up to water?
So far pretty well. I actually tried that out on a few parts a long time ago and didn't have any issues. I would be curious how it holds up in direct sunlight though.
Water is fine, don't let solvents come in contact with paint. Will hold up to sun quite well. Will yellow a bit over time
Did you try it on your motorcycle seat? I have a black and yellow Ducati seat and want it all black.
@@castle4kjv I'm also waiting for a reply, lol. I'm going to test it out on the seat!!
@@natiajohnson3665 how did it work out?
