Painting back of front seats - anyone done it?

Hey guys as you know my interior is lipstick red and full carbon. I was hoping that there was a way to paint the back of the front seats.....mine are a flat black. My exterior is black so I was thinking that gloss black backs would look great. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance! PS Dan at Vivid is the man on all our needs!

I have sport seats in my o3tt and I had the backs painted body color. They look great. I would assume you will need a plastic primer under the paint but I'm not certain.

Good luck

Don't tint your windows. Nobody will ever see the painted seatbacks.

It looks great, an acquaintance of mine has it on his 997C2S and I have to say it definitely comes together nicely.

Red face Thanks guys!

Do you know if the backs were removed before painting or just taped?

Dan is always helpful and has time to talk even though we all know he is busy! Thanks Dan!
