I've searched around the net, and was wondering how you would go about colouring plastics. I don't really want to paint them, I thought there might be another way.

I got cream speaker grills and cream rear stop light surround that I want to make black.

I will colour my cream parcel tray black using the dye method posted here! :cool:

the only way i've found to colour them covers and other plastic bits in your car effectively, would be to use Vinyl paint.. from a can... i did it to my speaker covers, works wonders!

yep but you need plasti/vinyl adhesive primer.. can be bought fro supercheap for like $10.

It's a like a glue/acid that grafts onto your plastic.. only need one coat of it... spraying vinyl paint over this will make it un-peelable
