vinyl dye

got a deep scratch on my foot panel.

Is there dye selling that would do touchups on the scratches, can spray or something similar?

I used black vinyl dye to paint both driver and passenger side airbags which were originally gray or tan or something. the black came out a perfect match to the rest of the black dash. i bought mine from autozone for a few dollars. make sure you don't spray it in a closed area tho, it smells worse than normal spray paint.

Dye won't cover a deep scratch, can you put your fingernail in it? Then it's too deep. You can sand the plastic using 400 then 600 - 800 - 1200 - 1500 then finally a plastic polish. You might want to use a dremel so that you don't disturb the surrounding plastic texture.
