For hard surfaces like vinyl and plastic, use a degreaser to remove all dirt, grease, and grime, then wipe dry. For carpets, vacuum thoroughly and use a stiff brush to lift the fibers and remove any debris. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.Masking: Carefully mask off any areas you do not wish to dye using painter’s tape and plastic sheeting or newspaper. This prevents accidental overspray on surrounding components.Shake Can: Vigorously shake the aerosol can for at least one minute before you start spraying to ensure the dye is well-mixed and will spray evenly. Continue to shake periodically during application.Test Spray: It is highly recommended to test the dye on an inconspicuous area of the material first. This allows you to check for color accuracy and proper adhesion before applying it to the main surface.Apply Light Coats: Hold the can approximately 10 to 12 inches away from the surface. Apply the dye in thin, even coats using a consistent back-and-forth motion, overlapping each pass slightly. Avoid applying heavy coats, as this can lead to stiffness on fabrics or runs on hard surfaces.Brush into Carpet (if applicable): If you are dyeing carpet, immediately after applying each light coat, use a stiff brush to work the dye into the carpet fibers. This ensures even penetration and prevents the carpet from feeling stiff.Allow Drying Time Between Coats: Let each coat dry for a few minutes until it is no longer tacky to the touch before applying the next coat. Typically, two to three coats are sufficient for complete and even coverage.Final Drying: Once all coats are applied, allow the dyed surface to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s recommended drying time before touching, reinstalling, or using the item.BENEFITS OF USING HI-TECH INDUSTRIES GRAY METALLIC VINYL, PLASTIC & CARPET DYE (HT-430):Restores Faded Interiors: Effectively brings back the original vibrancy and aesthetic appeal of sun-damaged or worn vinyl, plastic, and carpet surfaces.Enhances Vehicle Value: A refreshed interior can significantly improve the overall appearance and perceived value of your car, truck, or other vehicle.Seamless Color Matching: Offers a consistent Gray Metallic hue, making it ideal for either touch-ups or complete color changes to achieve a uniform look.Professional Finish: Designed to yield results that mimic a factory-applied finish, providing a clean and updated look without visible brush strokes or uneven coverage.Extended Material Lifespan: By recoloring and protecting surfaces, it helps to extend the functional and aesthetic life of your vehicle’s interior components.Versatile Application Beyond Autos: Can be used to refresh or customize items like boat interiors, RV seating, motorcycle seats, and even some household furniture, expanding its utility.FEATURES:Formulated as a permanent coloring agentDelivers a soft, non-rigid finish on materialsPrevents cracking and peeling after applicationResists rubbing off onto other surfacesFast-acting drying processSuitable for both interior automotive and non-automotive surfacesAerosol format for convenient applicationEnvironmentally compliant VOC levelsGray Metallic color (HT-430)Provides coverage for a factory-like appearance
