Interior color change? 850

I am looking to change my interior color. Currently it is Tan, but I would like to go to either a beige, or a dark color (black, grey). Does anyone know any vinyl dye's that are really good? I've heard of people doing this and it has worked out for them pretty good, as long as the surface area is well prep'd and extremely clean.

Thanks,

Jay

    Going black or grey will increase the temp of your interior after sitting in the sun (I have black, it gets darn hot). At any rate, I don't know of any good dyes, but to my own experience I've noticed the Volvo Vinyl and leather in the 850s is fairly though, so that it is not terribly asorbant. I had my front seats "restored"(dyed black) when I purchased the car (which worked well), but I think with some of hte trim you will have a problem with any kid of dye taking.
