Has anyone tried to dye vinyl seats that have faded?

Has anyone used vinyl dye/paint on their seats? I have a 1979 Z-28 with T-Tops and badly faded front buckets.
The Interior is Dark Carmine Red The front seat covers were replaced shortly before I bought it about twelve years ago.
The rear seats are fine. I have PPG vinyl paint/dye and I was wondering if anyone has used this or has any advice
before I try it on the buckets and console. I had a bodyman tell me that it would come off on your cloths. Help!

Yes, it works well.
As with any refinishing type operation, preparation is key.

the ones I replaced were dyed. they looked ok. I'm not sure the cost of dying vs replacing but I'd replace it possible.
