Seats painted !

I finally got a pair of GG leather GT3 seats, and had the black portions painted arctic silver. The shop also did the lower portion of the rear bumper in AS. If all goes well, the seats will get installed this weekend, and perhaps some pictures taken.

Post some pics, Arctic with the Graphite Grey IMO looks great, how did they paint the seat backs? Did they remove them from the seats?

My mistake I thought they were sport seats that the backs were painted on.

I removed the "seats" from the base / sliders and also removed the leather myself (pretty easy - just lots of velcro a little glue and a handful of screws).
Mikes Spectrum Auto Painting in Gilroy did a great job on the paint. They are beautiful

I had a chance to start putting the leather back on this evening... Interesting job - it may take a while to get it all alligned just right, but I am sure the results will be worth the effort.

I will post pictures as I can to it.

The first picture is now posted in my ImageEvent Album.

Thanks Kevin.
I know the belts need to go through the "holes", but since the car goes to the dealer in the morning anyway, I decided to let them do that part. Afterall, I don't want to strip one of those bolts.

Looks great.

Don't bother running the seatbelts through the seats. I had my belts both ways, and I ended up leaving them on the outside. Cleaner look, same level of safety.

Outstanding seats! That is one very cool, very racing fast look!

I love the classy way you've done all of your aluminum accents inside your car. Very nice!
