Dying seats? Reply #15 – April 11, 2008, 10:34:02 AM Quote from: danzajax;213452I thought about taking my seat fabric off and dying it black in a tub with contemporary fabric dye. -dzI would dye it that way. If Im going to make new backs anyways then Ill have them off anyways. I just dont know anything about the whole dying process or the products and different ways to do it. all i knew was there was a spary can version that seemed easy. Quote Selected

Dying seats? Reply #18 – April 13, 2008, 01:10:31 PM OK so my girls Mom told me about this stuff called Rit. Is fabric dye that they sell at walmart. Its like 1.50 a ox or something. each little box is suppose to do the about one pair of jeans so i figure i would use about 6- 8 boxes per seat. She said you just throw it in th washer but i think ill try it by hand and see haow hat works then maybe throw it in the washer with somemore to cover anything i might have missed. So about $15 a seat to dye isnt bad i dont think. We'll see. Quote Selected

I would think just like jcassity said, a spray bottle and some color dye would do the trick.I would try that but I already pulled the covers. I just cant get the bottom off because the pull out knee rest thing is in the way. I am afraid to try and pull it (i have a bad habit of breaking stuff when i;m figuring out how it works) I was hoping someone knew how to do it. Quote Selected
Dying seats? Reply #26 – May 03, 2008, 09:39:50 PM you talking about the underside of the forward part of the seat?I had a look at that one day a long while ago feeling around and decided,,,oh hell no,, f that. theres one long clip along the forward edge of the seat cloth that holds to the interior metal angle iron. from there , there is a bunch of long wire clips / springs and . I discovered all this when i pulled my seats to presure wash them. Took a long time to dry,, heavy mothers to. Talk about a candidate for a weight loss program!! Quote Selected

Dying seats? Reply #28 – June 09, 2008, 10:20:52 PM dye.... FAILURE!I tried it on one of the head rest and it dyed the inside really nice, outside is still red!There is powder and liquid an i bought both, used the powder on this one in the washing machine like directed so guess thats out.Now I am going to use the spray idea. I put a drop a piece and it covered it pretty good even after i rubbed it around and washed it off. To think i could have left the seats together for the most part Quote Selected
