What is the best vinyl prep and vinyl dye system out there to change a brown door panel black.

Try this site.  I've tried their dye before and it worked great on vinyl!

With reasonable prep, most of that stuff is long wearing. Years ago I did my daily driver from blue to black. Seats, dash, door panels and all and it lasted years before I needed to touch up.

Thanks guys, I'm going to give it a shot.  I think I'll try DupliColor which they sell at O'Reilly's.  Does a person go with gloss black?

I bought my dye from Willcox.  matched my interior color.  didn't have a problem.  changed a couple of armrests from silver to dark blue.  brightened up the rest of my interior.
