      Nice project Ron. I'm guessing the color will be somewhat lighter after the dye dries completely?

      How did you select the products for cleaning/prepping and dying the soft top?

                Hey Ron! Maybe you can dye your hair to match the top of whatever you're driving, too.

                    It's more like Vintage Cabernet. Deeper color and more body than Merlot.

                      I would but it says right on the can, not to be used on human hair.

                        I agree, much deeper color almost to black cherry.

                          That deep color burgundy/black cherry really sets it off. Looks much better than a lighter shade would have - in my opinion anyway. I really like it, Ron. Nice choice.

                                Very nice job, and nice to see the 'work in progress' shots as well. Keep up the good work!
