Anyone used fabric spray paint?

I have a set of gray seats and center console out of a Bronco that are in my 72 now, but the rest of my interior is black. Does the spray paint for fabric work decent? Or does it look like garbage? Any tips on spraying seats?

Thanks

I used it to paint the center console in my blazer and it has held up pretty good. I also used it to piant to vinly seats on my golf cart and they have held up great. I would dye the seat with rit or another brand, I think the dye would do a better job but for the console it is just like painting anything else, you have to do the prep work and remove all the dirt, grease and grime.

Our local wal-mart has it back in the laundry detergent section. It is for cloths but it will work on your seats also.

I used some VHT that was good for use on fabrics, and dyed a set of seats with it. As long as they aren't sat in more than 1 time a month, you are in good shape.

Point being. It looks great as long as it isn't a high wear area.
