Changing interior colors

Wasn't sure were I should post this question, but can a person get a set of seats or door panels that are cloth and have the color changed?

For example can you get them re-dyed from gray to a tan color? And who could do this? Maybe a local upolestry(SP?) place?
I got some ideas running through my head as always.
Thanks

why dont you just buy aftermarket repo's in the color you want,instead of tearing your interior apart,having it re-dyed,then have to put it all back together,,,,,,,,i think it would be less of a hassle......imo...jeff

If your broke like me and enjoy working on your truck, I have had good luck with the spray dye vinyl and fabric color. Exspecially like fabric stuff cloth or carpet. This carpet was faded to nearly white. It cost about $15 to do the carpet. Better than $230 for new carpet (blazer). + it looks like nice original 23 year old carpet.
Which alot of peolpe whould hate, but i like it original. I also did the console dash doorpannels headliner headliner trim( not all the same color) They were all faded but were good pieces.
On a color change gray to tan the cloth, soft vinly,carpet seatcovers should be fine. it soakes in. On the door panels and hard plastics, I say if you prep it right it works perfect too, but I am sure some would disagree.
