Hi everyone iv been trying to paint my car seats black using duplicolor fabric and vinyl spray but it doesnt really penetrate and im left with a look that looks so obviously painted and not very good so I have though about using acrylic paint and rubbing it in? has anyone dyed their seats black and how did they do it? I dont want seat covers as I like the factory look and new car seats are too expensive.

this is the stuff you used 4:20 is your reference (you will need a lot of cans cause it soaks in )

What sort or preps should I have done? all I really did was a thorough clean before spraying

Don't use acrylic paint.
And don't wear light coloured clothes when driving the car.

If I wanted black seats, which I don't, I'd reupholster them.

2:30 prep they dont say exactly do they ....... read web site no longer has their own prep products

they say it is in the paint looking at the actual web site of the stuff for more user info

Thanks for the help I think I might just get seat covers after some thought

Sometimes seat covers are easier.
