Default Renewed seats

Never really liked the color of my ugly black and yellow seats but the price was right. I got tired of looking at them all faded and stained so I fixed them. 3 cans of fabric paint and they look good as new almost. Here's a before and after.

Major improvement. Did you use the Duplicolor fabric dye?

As a matter of fact I did. Works great. They look good in the jeep but the back seat, carpet and interior is grey so I prob should have tried that but it's not like it's a show rig.

How does the fabric feel now that it's been dyed?

It was a little stiff at first but now feels just like it did before. These had a canvas type texture so they weren't exactly soft to begin with.

You did that with PAINT?? Could have fooled me. That looks great. Was it just a spray on paint? Or a wipe on dye?
