So I was sitting here thinking. It might be cool to change up the interior ( not commmitted just thinking) and why not just dye the threads the color you want? Seeing thats basicaly what a color is, a dyed thread. I had asked a shop regarding changing colors on a Boat seat and they said just dye it if its threars as thats what happens anyways

What is everyone thoughts. Again hypothetical here. I am tempted to try it though, on somethign besides the car for starters.

 

What color is your stitching now? I have had a similar thought myself. If it's white it would be easy to go any color, but mine is grayish and I was thinking it would need to be white before changing.

 

The same. I was thinking red. You can bleach it white. But I want a darker red so the light gray might be perfect

 

How do you dye just the thread without screwing up the leather?

 

Use a fabric dye pen and wipe it off as you go. That's what the upholstery guy told me.

Just found this. one guy has it for 2 plus years...

 

I wish there was a way to turn them white or bright silver for contrast.

 

Let us know what happens.

 

you can. Bleach it.

 

Someone give me an idea where it's not going to be conspicuous

 

As we speak my interior is parted out in order to change sticthing from grey to yellow....I will post pics in a few days when ready...

I don't recommend bleaching - not only does it damage the surrounding leather, but it dramatically weakens the thread, making it fray in a high friction area. The OEM silver/grey painted red will not look as bright red as OEM deviated red stitching.

 

How are you changing it? Dye or new thread

 

This is a great thread as I am in this predicament now. Do I paint my stitching orange or get the interior re-stitched? Hmmm lol.

Cars are such biatch on the pocket :-)
