I used VHT Vinyl dye from summit, did my entire interior on my gt looked great, only prep I did was Clean, Clean and Clean the panels some more, use a heavy degreaser and make sure the panels are dry before spraying on average 2-3 coats

My used to hangout up at the local stereo shop around here and they always used the dye from SEM, they make tons of colors to match most factory colors, go to there website, im sure you can find summin. The stuff works great, guy dyed his interior to black from tan in a Chevy Blazer and it looked stock when he was done.

You can have die mixed at most auto paint stores and you save a ton of cash compared to spray cans. I use a clear plastic adhesive and spray the panels first with that then hit them with color.

Well, I'm not changing the color, just refinishing to factory color. 5.0 Resto said mine was charcoal grey according to my trim code on the drivers door. I ordered their product...hope it works at $11.00 a can. I already have a few cans of adhesion promoter.
