So I was at walmart and I bought some duplicolor vinyl dye and tried it on one of the pieces in the trunk. This stuff is pretty good, I wanted to see how it would go on and didn't bother sanding it or heating it up and it stays on even when I try to scratch the dye off. Only thing that got the dye off was when I went at it with a screwdriver, but I doubt anyone would actually do that :D I'll try to start on the rest of the interior tomorrow and have pictures up
Heres the trunk piece-

try putting a piece of electrical tape on it, like you are masking off, and then peel the tape off, the "dye" will come right off. Ive tried it several different ways.. with wetsanding and heating up the plastics, this stuff does not penetrate the plastic and soak in.. it comes right off.
