Wow, I've actually been thinking about doing that exact same thing and wondered if it would make any difference. LOL I really wish you had a photo of it half-purple and half-black.
How many containers of the spray did you use?
Hmmm... I don't have to work tomorrow and need to do something useful to the car. heh heh __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

FWIW I did the same thing, but used a duplicolor interior spray paint. I guess it's essentially the same stuff, but going from the pictures mine turned out way darker. Its basically fabric spray paint __________________

Now that I've sprayed mine, I forgot to ask something. LOL Once it's dry, is it still soft to the touch?
In the attached photo, "before" is on the left, and "after" is on right. The "after" portion is about 1/2 can worth of spray. I finished that can and then went over all of it with about 1/2 of the second can. Once it's dry, I'll look at it in sunlight and see if it needs more. __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

The stuff I used was still fabric feeling. I think it's more of a dye than a spraypaint __________________
