I think purple would look sick with that color of car. not to mention very unique

wheee! 02-10-2011 09:43 PM

sick as in 'good' or sick as in 'blechhh'! :icon17:

I think a darker purple would look better.

hey falcor,

how did you do the inside of the seats, or where the seams are hard to reach at? I guess some thin painter's tape?

Falcor 02-11-2011 07:31 AM

no i just used one hand to pull the cushion back as much as possible and went at it. as long as you go slow you'll get it. just remember that it is impossible to not get it on the seat itself. just try to minimize contact as much as possible.

do we know how long this paint stays on? or i should say does it fade over time?

There are guys on the camaro forum that have done this months ago and say that it hasn't faded at all.
I figure that if it does then I'll just reapply.

it'll depend on if the seats are exposed to the sun for a long time or not. If your car is in the garage all the time, it'll last a long time, but if it is in the direct sun all day, it'll likely fade over a short period of time.

Has anyone found a good burgundy color yet?

wheee! 02-13-2011 10:49 AM

I am going to check at the Michael's craft store here in town. They advertise several types of fabric dye pens. Will have to see how close they are to burgundy...
