Just looking at the best ways to dye a mini vinyl seat. I've tred it once before (dyed a blue seat and some door cards black) - by cleaning the seat really well and using a White Knight brand black vinyl pain from Bunning's W'house. The result though, was kinda crap. The colour looked obviously fake and would rub off pretty easily.

I wanna try again with a different seat so was wondering if there are any superior ways and products for doing this?
