they look great in the car, but I let them sit outside for like 10 min in the sun to take that picture... and the back of the seat (the vinyl part) got tacky again so I'm gonna let it chill out in the garage for a few days to insure its totally dry. Thanks for the feed back.

Tacky? thats not very comforting (I'm thinking of doing it too) what if its a sunny day, inside the car gets like 130 degrees?

It's because I put the coats on too thick I think... it will dry soon I hope. I'm sure if I give it at least a couple more hours it'll be okay. I would still do it if I were you, it looks badass.
and a LITTLE TIP:
I put the plastic peices in the bathtub and let them soak in some soap. It held the paint better. buy alot of spraypaint if you plan on doing this. I used wal-mart shit it was like exactly a dollar a can so I bought 8 and I only have the back seat and the passenger seat done and I'm out of paint. peace out. good luck.

I'm sorry to bring bad news, but start looking for racing seats. What you used will wear off. It'll start looking like shit within a month. I did the same thing. :-(

I went on eBay and spent 50 bucks and got some black synthetic leather seat covers with yellow stripes down the middle to match my car :P Look baddass! I'll post pics in a bit when I'm done sewing them to the seat. So far I've done the drivers seat and headrests and it looks sSOOO sweet, it matches the black and yellow dash trim I have too. Also these covers wont wear off like paint. or at least I hope not :P (And they are slightly padded and make for a super comfortable ride BTW)

yea, it will fade off some... prolly like where u sit and your back pieces.... all u have to do is touch up the seats every once in a while... i didn't do my seats but i did the carpet and it fades off but i can touch it up easly...
yea, if i were u i'd look into buying seat covers, there are some very nice ones out there, thats what i'm gonna do...

Does anyone know of any way that you can paint the seats without the shit comming off in a month? Goddamn this blows I only have one of the front seats done and its still fucking sticky on the vinyl part on the back and the backs are fading from people geting in and out.... GRRR WHAT DO I DO.... its been 4 days and it still feels sticky ont he back of the front seat, you think that shit WILL EVER DRY? help a brotha out.

Yeah the little flag is embroidered into the cover with "sport" or something embroidered under it. It actually doesn't look too bad IMO.
