Default stained door panels

What can I do to make the cloth interior pieces a decent color ? They have faded over the years . The seats are OK. Thank you in advance !

Cloth traditionally is dyed to change/refresh color. There are some color dyes in spray cans. Maybe just a good cleaning and living with the color, your choice.

I mixed brown Ritt dye and water in a spray bottle, and sprayed away rubbing it in with a damp cloth. pretty easy to do cheap too

mixing the ritt dye sounds like something I would like to try. Did you use the liquid or powder, and how much dye with how much water.
