<VV> Dyeing seats

[J R Read_HML]

I dyed a 65 med blue interior - back to original.  It stayed pretty nice for 
a couple of years, then just good for about another year.  Then I installed 
Clark's upholstery.  From my experience, you should expect to get at least 3 
yrs out of it.  Mine was a convert and the top pretty much stays down all 
summer.  So, maybe it would last longer in a coupe or sedan?  Don't know. 
Also, I did NOT change colors, so I have no idea what that might do on the 
longevity question.
