My light blue interior won't match with my new paint job. I would like to dye the front bucket seats, the two bench seats, the carpets, and the ceiling. How would I go about dying it and what shoul I use?

I forgot to mention that. It is cloth which should be easier I would think. i have seen results on vinyl, but don't have knowledge on either.

Not sure if you can dye cloth or if it's the preffered method rather. Dying vinyl makes sense but cloth? I would think you have to stitch up new material (cloth) and recover the seats. And the carpet I know you should be able to find somewhere, like a truck accessory store.

I have never heard of anyone dying cloth interior in a vehicle. That doesn't mean it can't be done, but dying vinyl is much more common

I don't see why you couldn't give it a shot. Wost case is you end up recovering them, right? I have no idea what you'd use, however. I know that a spot of grease on your pants will dye a small spot black:banghead: , but I wouldn't recommend that for the entire truck.
