I just love that it is simple but makes a huge change!

It tool me about 3hrs because i was soo scared to get it on my black cloth. i think with leather it would go much faster.

The best bang for the buck so far! The pen cost like $2-$3 or something and i did the whole interior with just one pen.

PS. Thanks to all those giving rep it is appreciated!

I'd say that the leather takes just as long. That's about how long it took me. But I was being real careful.

One more tip: The headrest's are much easier to do if you remove them. Slide the seat all the way forward and recline them to remove it.

do the headrests have white threads on the leather seats? My cloth headrests only had black.

And to remind anyone thinking of doing this.

do NOT use red acrylic markers from

-DecoColor
-Sharpie

they come out really pink due to the silver color of the stiches (multipul layers did not help darken the color)

DO use the Elmers red acrylic. it is very a very solid primary red and will yield the best results.

These are only suggestions for Red acrylic, i cant speak to the quality of other colors in these brands or the dye as i didnt try either.

I was checking out you album. Don't you have a black cherry Z?

no its a custom color. It is lighter than the black cherry much more on the red side but still more of a maroon than red. like a dark pearl cherry red...I sound dumb but i dont really now how to describe it.

couldn't do this with the light grey interior right?

being it would stain the light colored leather rather noticeably

you might be able to get away with it as long as you are very care full on the clean up. If you were to use one of the deco-color or shapie brand "ultra-fine" tip (in a color other than red). you could minimize the paint on the leather using the ultra-fine tip and be extremely careful with the clean up.
