    Dying leather ( convertible boot )

    I found a used convertible "boot" on craigs list for sale, in good shape but it is white, has anyone ever had any experience/luck with dying leather, or its most likely vinyl? I would like to buy it provided I could dye it black, thanks.

    All men die, but not all men truly ever live.

    It's almost certainly vinyl, and the vinyl dyes do work pretty good. But, you can buy a new TMI boot from any of the Mustang vendors for about $100. I have one and it looks great and fits great also.

    It's easier to add horsepower than it is to lose weight.

    I dyed an entire interior on a 70 Duster from gold to black. It turned out great. I bought the stuff at Advance but don't remember the brand. Rub it down really good with laquer thinner first.
