  On the Red Vinyl Dye subject.....
   
  Whatever shade of RED vinyl dye you wind up with, remember that Red is transparent and the final shade of red will be influenced by the color you are spraying over.
   
  It is VERY hard to cover another color with red and it will take quite a few coats, unless you use an old trick...
   
  WHATEVER color you are spraying RED dye over, even if what you are spraying over is red already, DYE IT WHITE FIRST!!
   
  The white base coat will enhance the transparent red top coat, and will ensure that everything ends up the same shade of red when finished. 
   
  It may not seem to make sense, but you will use a lot less dye, even using white base and then red over it.
   
  I did my 62 P 500 interior this way - door panels and seats. It was originally white and red two tone, and suffered bad sun fadeing over the years..  It came out absolutely as new. The red over the white base coat, just POPPED and I got dozens of comments about how good it looked. People could not believe it was re-dyed. It looked THAT good.
