I have set of cloth seats.. but they are the olive brown color.. which wouldnt match my interior. Im thinking about dying them black.. but is there 'special' automotive fabric dye? Or should I just head on down to the fabric crafts store? Cloth would be nice in the summer instead of the hot *** leather. Does anyone know exactly what kind of material the seats are made out of? TIA

just be careful because sometimes it'll wear off on your back and *** if you don't do it right... if i can recall what brand of dye i used i'll post, but it's been about 8 years. someone i know is doing a chevy from puke green to black, i'll post on that tomorro and try to help.

you can buy it in a spray can. The stuff works pretty good, but I'm not sure if it lasts long. On cloth, it shouldn't be a problem be the cloth will absorb it better, but vinyl and plastic will eventually flake off.

Yeah, thats the paint crap.. Does not last long, especially in the sun.

I used black spray dye on some of those velour type seats, and it never really got down into the nap. You could always see the original lighter color sort of showing through the black.

I suppose some kind of wetter dye, maybe if the material was immersed in it, it might work better. I used some stuff in aerosol cans.
