So, some of you know that I recently picked up a CRX for a project. I have been prowling my local Craig'slist for finds and deals. Just Friday, I picked up a recently rebuilt SI tranny with a welded diff (it's not gonna be a daily, will rarely be on the street, so don't even start on the welded diff mess), everything I need for auto-manual swap, and 2 reupholstered SI seats. All for $250!! CL FTMFW!!!!111!!!!
Anywho, The seats were a really lame, dingy yellow.
I scrubbed them down with soapy water to get most of the crap off, but I was NEVER going to install yellow seats in my ride.
I went on down to the local O'reilly
and picked up some Duplicolor Vinyl and Cloth Paint. Charcoal Gray and Flat Black. Also Got a can of Grease and Wax Remover.
This was the first step
Then I masked up the center section with blue painter's tape. You can get it at any Home Depot/Lowes. I really took the time to make sure I got it down in the seams so I wouldn't have any over spray. Then I used the ads that come in the mail to cover the rest of the center. Then came the flat black. Looks glossy b/c it's still wet, but has the same finish as the gray when dry.
Apparently, I put the tape on the gray too soon b/c it pulled it up in 3 spots when I removed it.
I let everything dry then masked the black and resprayed the gray, but my camera is dead, so no pics.
Overall, I think it turned out pretty well. I am posting this so anyone thinking about this will see how easy it is. This paint works on fabric too. A buddy of mine had some sun faded carpet in his EG and used this to re-color it. It looks brand new. Cheap fix for cheap seats, it retains the grain, doesn't harden the vinyl/fabric, and they have 8 or 9 different colors, so you could really go with a few different options as far as paint schemes.
