I want to see pictures of our stock seats painted BLACK I really want to do this if it holds up well and looks good.

Thanks A LOT guys!

Sorry for the 2 posts, I could have just made one but I forgot.

Peace.

Close enough?

At the bottom, you will see pics of stock gray cloth seats with the centers and headrests painted black. Pretty decent for $6 in fabric dye. I recently traded up to leather, but have no plans of coloring those.

i painted my rear ones black. if you are painting, rub it with a brush or with your hands between coats so the fabric doesnt get stiff. mine felt just like they normally did before painting. they held up great but then again not too many people sit in the backseat.

i used dupli-color vinyl and carpet die. Its in a rattle can with the rest of the spray paints. I'm sure i used probably used 100-150 dollars in paint when i redid the entire interior and proably about 30-40 dollars was the seats and the carpet.

seriously though, say you were driving for an hour in it and you were baking and dressed all in white, would your clothes get fucked?

i've never had the dye rub off on my clothes, this includes when my white shoes were wet and i had them on the painted carpet.
