Painting racing seat.

Im planning to paint my faded racing seats.

What kind of paint should I use?

Any tips I should know?

Thanks!

Well I would start with re-apolstering them or just buying new ones. Maybe even seat covers but painting them is dumb. The paint would take for ever to dry because it would soak into the foam of the seat and it would never come out that great.

You could buy fabric paint and do it but it comes down to how much you like your car. If you hate you car and want to punish it by making it ugly then go for the paint. But if you care for your car and have any kind of self respect you will leave it or go with one of the other options that I have suggested.

Not to mention the paint would probably stain your clothes from rubbing and moving around in the seat.

This is a bad idea.

EDIT: Who did u post this in Exterior / Lighting?

My buddy did this to his del Sol seats once, and later down the line one day he went to class not knowing his whole *** was black. LOL he ended up buying black Sparco Torinos after that.
