    yep it can. I used the duplicor vinyl and fabric dye to color match a blue dash I bought so it'd match my black interior.
    Just be sure to do the proper prep work or it won't stay on there.

    you know the dash pad unscrews? takes a different prep for the soft dash pad and the hard plastic. if you paint them apart comes out much better. eastwood.com has all of the SEM paints and the prep products.

    I used Krylon Fusion for plastic on my Black/Tan dash and the other console pieces to get it all black.

    Re: can u dye the interior panels?

    im thinking about painting/dying my bottom dash (not the pad) black to make it blue/black to match the tan/black. Is there any easy way to get the dash out?

    no easy way that I know of.
    Have to unbolt everything, there are bolts on each side of the dash, one behind the clock, two behind the radio, and a few more that I cant remember where

    if you are going to paint the dash,it has to come out anyway, take the time,do it right and paint the dash and the dash pad. if you only do half of it,it's going to look wierd. bottom half will be clean and new and the top will be old and weathered.

    I have to agree with everyone else. Don't mess with the black and tan. I know black is cool and all, but it makes for a very uninviting interior space. You're just going to be depressed in your car and wanting to do drugs.

    Re: can u dye the interior panels?

    its really not hard to take out the dash. the hard part is putting it back in to the car without messin up the new paint. i took mine out and painted it all black. sanded a ll with fine sanding paper. and took off everything i could before i painted. it was awesome when i finished. looked brand new. and still looks good. i used the paint for vinyl and fabric from shucks/autozone/wallmart. it works just clean dash good first and light sand so paint will stay on. i did 2 coats. the dash comes out and goes in easy.

    well in that case, being depressed in my black interiord car wanting to do drugs is a better feeling than sitting in my red interiord car
