dying vinyl

I have some questions about dying vinyl. It comes in spray cans and covers very opaquely. Is vinyl dye just a special thin paint that sticks to vinyl, or is it actually a dye? Is this the stuff I use on my plastic interior trim pieces like kick panels too?

I'm concerned mostly with how the finished product will respond to wear, age, scuffing, and things like armor all. Right now if I scuff one of the kick panels, the scratch is the same color as the surface. If I redye it, how deep does the dye go?

How about if I redye vinyl seats. Will it be permanent, or will it wear through in a few years?
