seat dying on gen 3 sho seats?

[zach44102]

i have done a little research with the very usefull search button and i have found that the gen3 sho seats will bolt up to the gen 2. but i would like to dye it black to do a black interior swap. what are the steps to the process of dying it the right way for a finish that will last? is dupli-color vinyl spray a good option? and with splicing the wires is there any tips suggestions or instructions? any brand or die or spray recommended?:thankyou::thankyou:

You can dye like dashes cause you never touch it , but seats? Well thats a first.

2$ it doesnt last 2 days.

You will be very unhappy when everything you sit on turns black, and your seats turn back to gray.

When leather is made...it's less of a dye and more like a spray paint.

Gen III seats are uber-comfy. But I never liked the look of them in a Gen I/II

If you really want black, just have them reupholstered.

If you use SEM dye and clean them properly first you won't have any problems at all.

SEM is the brand?

Me neither...

SEM dye is good, but I'm suspicious about it's durability on a seat. However, it's not like they pick out black cows for black interiors, so there must be some good permanent way to color them.

Not only that, but if its going to be a track car for you.. why dont you just get racing seats? If i could afford them i would.. Those stockers are soo heavy.. i about killed myself carrying them up and down stairs all day when i was doing my swap.. They feel like 90 pounds or so..

If you have a spray gun and compressor I can make you a color to redye the seats. If you prep them really good it will last along time.

Haha, I do what I can.

yeah i have a paint booth and mixing room. but the reason i was thinking about it was because i have a gen 3 with cam failure and my seats are pretty worn. plus they are leather.
