Location: Tulare Ca		Hey All! so about 2 years ago i bought some NOS fabric in Black from SMS auto, About 6 months ago I finally got around to installing the 1 (yes, just one) door panel that I made.

I've noticed recently that the black fabric is already starting to sun fade after only being on the car for 6 months. Now, Im only so surprised considering that its 65 year old fabric, But Im wondering if I should try to RE-Dye the rest of the fabric before I start to make the rest of the panels and seat covers.
Has anyone else had to do this with NOS fabric? And brand recommendations or way to go about it that anyone recommends?

Thanks yall!

Just so you know, some of SMS's "NOS" fabrics are not NOS, they are repop.

Some, I didn't say all.
