I dyed my 06 seats today
�
�
this morning i decided i did not like the gray/black interior at all. i used duplicolor fabric dye, gloss black. it came out looking very good and would look even better with more coats and more pacience on my part. the fabric feels a little stuff but i sure it will break in nicely. the good thing about the spray dye is that when you get spots you need to touch up you can just pull out a can and cover what was needed and it looks as good as new. i will be doing my door cars and front seats in a couple weeks pending the final results of the back seats.

Really good.........
| Dforce | 08-26-2006 04:46 PM |
any before pics? will it rub off on light color clothing?
| iamchris | 08-26-2006 04:54 PM |
Wow, looks much better than I expected! *thumbs up*
| WRXDriftR | 08-26-2006 04:55 PM |
amazing! lol... now those of us with the Blue STi seats can dye them to look like the Spec-C black STi seats :)
| lunatic meth | 08-26-2006 04:56 PM |
wow, that looks great!! just hope it doesn't fade
| BlowDro | 08-26-2006 05:17 PM |
if it fades then i will just touch it up as needed.a 10 minute ride with the windows down and it will not smell.
as for it coming off on light colored cloths, thats why i did my backseats first. To let my friends be my guinea pigs.
another one of my friends will be dyeing his 04 sti seats soon. i think it will look better than the spec c seats because the STi stiching will look like ghost writing.

looks nice - curious to see how well the dye stays on the seat and off your friends...

I used the same product to dye my blue STi carpet black. That was 6 months ago. Everything is still perfect. The color has not faded or rubbed off. I have shampooed the carpet without any color rubbing off. And yes, stains are not a problem. BTW I used the flat black not the gloss black.
| veightkiller | 08-27-2006 01:29 AM |
they should have come in that color.looks great!
| JohnnyWas | 08-28-2006 02:04 AM |

| Dynobyte | 08-28-2006 03:11 AM |

nor did I. I might do that to my 02 seats when I do the all black interior.

does anyone know if the 05 STI door cards is the same fabric as the Spec-C?
| WhiteFox | 08-29-2006 02:09 AM |
I hope your seats don't have Teflon fabric protection.
| Dr freedom | 08-29-2006 02:25 AM |
Any update on testing on your mates? :)
| Dynobyte | 08-29-2006 03:42 AM |

if i dyed my JDM v8 seats black would that make them JDM v8.5 or 9s haha
| BlowDro | 08-29-2006 09:31 AM |
no ones sat in the back seats yet and i will be waiting a couple weekds to do my front ones. i dont think there will be any rubbing off happening, the seats feel great.

I tried to dye some 300ZX seats a while back and the dye wouldn't take. It would just bleed right off. I was able to wash all the dye right off, then sold them. I was told they probably had teflon on them after I dyed them.

so r spec-c's car black suade? i want that so bad.
| IllNastyImpreza | 08-29-2006 06:46 PM |
that stuff Did not work for me @ all...I died my ugly Biege seats in my L about a year ago....right now it looks like bleached sand camoflauge
I cleaned the crap out of it...and than used 2 bottles per seat....ended up with like 4 coats. The parts of vinyl onthe back still are about 90% ok...but the fabric parts faded/rubbed off/evaporated like a mofo!
how the hell did u guys get it to stay on there???

| BlowDro | 08-29-2006 10:20 PM |
idk maby its a different fabric that absorbs the dye.... i hope
| KAX | 08-30-2006 02:39 AM |
you said your L seats were vinyl? im sure the cloth fabric absorbs the dye better then a vinyl would.
| Dynobyte | 08-30-2006 03:38 AM |
there is vinyl spray dye for your dash and what not and there is this duplicolor stuff for fabric apparently.
| BlowDro | 08-30-2006 09:04 AM |
yes, the duplicolor paint i have says vinyl and fabrics on it, then it also says uses on dashboards, door panels, seat and carpet. this is the same paint i used to paint my a,b and c pillars and it worked great.
| Damon | 08-30-2006 09:41 AM |
two thumbs up.
| dantastic | 08-30-2006 09:47 AM |
anyone try this on their headliner yet? i know that the lighter colored headliner is supposed to make the car feel better, but i'd rather have it match the rest of the interior....
| Calamity Jesus | 08-30-2006 09:47 AM |
I don't understand why you'd dye anything that people on this board would pay good money to swap for.

He had those grayish-beige seats... i didnt think many people liked those. I know the 04/05 all black WRX seats were worth something, but a friend had trouble selling his 06 beige ones on here.
Can the OP please paint the fronts and post pics!! :devil:

nooo...his were the 06 WRX seats. The Sti ones would be bought up pretty quick on here... but someone brave would have my praises if they DID paint their STi seats black, similar to the spec-C ones from Japan that go for over $1000 just for the fronts :)

| Lazaride | 09-01-2006 05:25 PM |
I'd like to see more pics of the painted cloth interior 02 if possible, I will be doing my dash finally this weekend (black)and on to the A pillars - and I think If I am going to be taking my head liner out to de-rail - I might do the RA scoop and paint the headliner black as well.
| gundamwrx | 09-06-2006 07:03 PM |
nice job, i just did that with my grey wrx carpet and it came out pretty good.
I was just wondering if you painted the entire seat or did you mask off the parts you didn't want painted?
