Dupont has similar products to SEM. Both contain vinyl resins. They also have similar top coats. I've use the Dupont on my 2002 Ford Explorer. A local automotive paint store (D'Angelos) put it in 16oz spray cans for me which made application easy without a spray gun.
They also had a color chart for 2002 Ford interior colors and that's what I went with and it was a perfect match, but I had to lightly coat each piece completely. There are a few D'Angelos here in the L.A. area.
On my 928, I used the Leatherique leather dye (Silk Grey). I was also pleased with the results.

For an entire Porsche, including door panels, headliner, side panels, you could probably make it with the 16oz kit.
I didn't think about the diluting for an airbrush.
I haven't purchased the airbrush yet, just a nice accessory for the 28gal. air tank. I figured an airbrush would be more even since you can lay down several really light coats. My 18 year old is an artist too so I figured she might like to use it to airbrush some 928 shirts!!! 
Thanks again! Hopefully it will turn out really nice.

I used leatherique on my car last summer and it seemed to do a good job. Took a long time to do the whole interior. I have the 2 tone leather seats so I had to make sure I didn't get any on the middle sections of the seats. It seems to be holding up fine so far. Once it warms up I am going to see if the dye stays on well or if it rubs off or wipes off if it gets a little wet. If it rubs or wipes off if it is a little wet then I will have to redo the whole car with something else. I could just imagine someone coming into my car and if the seats got a little wet with rain and they sit down on the seat and get up with a nice chocolate brown stain on their butt!!

Very durable and im very happy. I redyed my flight bag 2 years ago using there product, actualy Porsche Black

Try these guys. I got factory color matched spray dye from them and it worked great. The guy who does my upholstery says he's never seen better.

Thanks again for the info!
