seat cover q's
hello gentlemen,
i have a GREAT seatcover that i love, i have no desire to get rid of it and "buy" 200 bucks worth of new one... but! i would like the material to be black in the center with the blue vinyl.. can i use a dye like RIT or something to change this without destroying the vinyl? OR and i just stuck paying for a new cover... (lame) thanks!

Re: seat cover q's
dammitmitchell, that is a new one for me. I would assume the RIT might work, but I would attempt the color change on a hidden spot before I went to far.
Anyone have any expertise in this area?

Re: seat cover q's
well the interior is in the process to be two toned,
IE: rhino lined bottom half, gloss black dash, blue metal flake rooftop half, this will match the rest of the (future) exterior, so the issue is the seat stands out like a sore thumb... meh... dunno, might just take it into a shop and have the seat redone.. oh well.. maby im just overthinking it
