Can you dye or recolour my convertible roof?

Last Update 2 years ago

It is unlikely your roof will need to be re-coloured. Once the dirt has been washed out of it, it will look better, and the weatherproof coating will darken it, making it look much better.

If your roof is so faded that cleaning and coating it would not improve it, then we would recommend a replacement rood. This is because the products sold as dye are not dye, they are a paint and don't look very good when applied. We would only recommend using them on vintage vehicles where replacement roofs are not available or prohibitively expensive. 

It is not possible to change the colour of a fabric hood. A full explanation of why we advise against using roof dyes can be found in this article
