worn seats...

[EMB2580]

I was just wondering if as a cheap alternative, has anyone ever painted (yes, painted) their worn seats. With the exception of the outter bolster on the driver's seat being too far destroyed to be anything but reupolstered, but that's expensive. The other seats have no rips but are worn pretty bad, but I think would look a lot better if I painted them. what do yall think? Thanks.

Edit: how about I just put black duct tape over the worn spots (the really bad ones)? Too tacky? LOL

seat issues

see my recent posting on this, my vote is getting a set of Gen 3 (e.g. 2000-2003) taurus seats and just ditching the old ones. The standard Taurus seats are very nice, and are basically bolt-in upgrade. Only trick is the wiring of the power module, esp. for driver's side.

this worked beautifully on my 89 Taurus GL/SC, using front seats from a 2001 Taurus that was wrecked. Why get 15 year old seats when the newer seats are better and plentiful ?
