Re: Dye-ing seats

I used a spray paint/dye on my son's fabric bench. We got a tan Bronco seat with fold down arm/cup holders and changed it to dark blue. We put it in his 69 chevy. I believe it was SEM products. Got it at the PPG paint store in town. I think it was about $14.00 a spray can, used 4-5 if I remember right. You may not need so many if your color change is not so drastic. It worked really well, dried fast had has lasted for a year now. It made the fabric stiff and rough feeling when it dried. We then used a brush like you might use scrubbing a floor or your tires and ran it all over, making many passes and it came back to nice and soft. Took awhile to brush soft again, but seemed OK to me if your on somewhat of a budget and your seats are otherwise in good shape.
