I painted the sticthing a while back but was looking for some more color. Leatherique leather dye on the seat back inserts, stock light red is very close to Guards Red. Very easy mod

 

Impressive work

What's the process like?

Is it possible to go from dark to light?
ie: Black to Tan?

My brothers van's got some seats that'd look good with a change of colour

 

It's very easy if you follow the instructions. Its all prep. You could color white deats black if you wanted and it would take years (based on my previous results) to wear through the color. And then if you did you just wipe more color on.

 

Sounds good, just wondered if you could go from dark to light without any real issues

 

How do you paint the stitching?

 

I'm curious too? I would like to do something like this to my seats.

 

Those seats look great! But my question is the same as prior, how do you paint the stitching, how hard was it, cost, time, etc.? Unbelievable DIY results!

 

Just found original stitch painting thread...

Very nice work post some details

 

You are a true pioneer. Looks great, as does the stitch!

 

Any plans to dye the center of the bottoms red too?

 

I'm trying to resist dying the bottoms because they will not be easy. Because of the supple leather they have folds and touch the outer side of the seat bottom so a clean line would be hard to get.

That said, I can already start to feel the urge to complete the bottoms. . .

 

Use some decorators tape and do the seat bases too

 

did this years ago I change out the seat bottoms and backs depending on how RED I feel.

 

would be a must for me. I may wait to see how it goes on the bottom, if you decide to give it a shot
