tooley Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 has anyone ever tried to dye the greyish cloth seats black at all. ive got a spare set and after seeing the results on the carpet and being very impressed i was debating trying to dye the seats until i can find a decent set of leather ones they look like they zip of the seats anyway but just wondered if anyone else had experimented with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 not sure on the seats but I would love someone to say that dying the grey furry roof liner works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I heard the roof liner goes all dry and crusty when dyed, to be fair, get a sheet of black cloth/leather and some fabric spray, cover it, fold the edges in, fit it, plastic trims will give it a extra clean stock look, SIMPLES:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 aerotop, not so easy as there is no plastic trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 aerotop, not so easy as there is no plastic trim. Ok not so simple http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Templates/frmTemplateM7.asp?SubFolderID=800&SearchYN=N 2nd item, you can see the lining from the aero roof removed, like before get a sheet of fabric suck to it, get all the seams nice, leave around 1" excess around it, slice the coners, and glue the edges over the top Really dude, shouldnt be to difficult, and will save you some money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 if you were to use the pump sprayer rather than the hand ones you can alter the spray nozzle ill bet you can do the roof easy enough.......i was sceptical about doing the carpet but it was so easy with the pump sprayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 You can but is a bit of a job!! Darker colours work best , and you use around 16 spray cans for a set of seats (front and rear ) circa £10 a can The foam in the seats absorb the dye , and you need to spray into all the creases/joins (better to use a foam pad and do these first) , 2-3 coats needed and when dry it has a crusty feel to it -so you have to rub the whole area with a soft cloth to soften the surface- results are OK - but not mint ! the only real way is to strip the cover material off and immerse in dye , this is not always possible and the missus will be well miffed when she sees the washing machine ,and surrounding kitchen ....
