If I recall its like a 3 part system to further get better results. A cleaner spray and the prep spray ( is the key and forgot what it is really called) and then the color. I have heard they come even better. I believe its sold in a kit from duplicolor.

Automotive paint shop should have the right products, vinyl is painted not stained and many auto dealers have experience in re spraying vinyl.

The key is not paint but dye, they have been dying interiors for years, ALL leather is dyed, prepped and using the right product and will hold up decently..

I have used the sem also ,for touch ups best thing about it is you can match almost any color. But i will definetly try the duplicolor and plasticote next it sounds kind of like a sleeper product worth trying

I did my entire interior last winter and so far it has been perfect I used the semis but understand that duplicator is the best

I have had great luck with SEM on many projects ranging from car interiors to ATV seats that get the snot beat out of them. Prep is the key.

I just touched up my bench seats with the duplicolor from the auto parts store. I'm pretty impressed so far. It's not brand new upolstery, but if you're looking to get another season or two out of the upolstery it's a good route. Super easy and I'd suggest about a can a cushion. I just washed it with soapy water first.

Before.


After.




The hardest part was taping off the colored areas.
