I have today and tomorrow off from work (today is over though lol) and my light colored seats look like hell.
Thinking tonight would be the perfect time to take out the driver's seat and spray it black, since I will be able to have one day of down time on the car, but idk what dye to trust, if I can find one that will dry quickly, and dry SOFT, instead of drying quickly but being hard and uncomfortable.
anyone do this before? what are your recommendations as to what I can go buy at wally world/target/whatever that will dry overnight or in 12 hours?
Can you swap in the passenger seat to buy yourself more curing time?
If not, write this in dye on the driver seat as a test:

lol.
and that is an idea worth considering.
I used the duplicolor flat black on my miata seats. Turned out looking like new! I took off the seat covers and washed them in the washerfirst and let them dry. Then painted. The dye dried in less than an hour in the sun.
hmmmmmmm, how many cans per seat?
I think i used less than 2 total cans

Wait, does Duplicolor make a dye, or can I add yet another element to my repertoire of spraypaint virtuosity?
Yes they do. I'd link but I'm on my phone.
I'm not sure the brand I used on the door panels of the TR7, (Mar-hyde maybe), it looks pretty good but I don't know about the durability for a seat... at least you can re-spray them on a regular basis. Available at Autozone? (At least a long time ago)
I'll go poke around at the garish-car-bling store tomorrow if I happen to have the right size sockets here. Probably not, though, because most of my stuff is at work=/
Thanks, all, I'll post pics of my success/disastrous failure
When you work in a color factory, it seems that every day your seat is a different color. Keeps things fresh, ya know?
I've used the Duplicolor on my Miata seats. They were a little stiff for a few days, but you would never know they had been dyed after a week or two.
