I did not have a problem with color coverage or adhesion. If there is an adhesion problem, then the vinyl was not properly prepped.

Hmmm.. thanks for the info..

My choices are pay to have it dyed.. $100-$200 or have it recovered for $200 since I can get the part for free..

It's just sprayed like paint..right? The white top is pretty new and still "soft"..
