Dying Sparcos......

C MY 4D · October 5th, 2008, 09:23 PM

I sold the stock seats and picked up a set of faded Sparco Torinos over the weekend. I went ahead and cleaned and dyed one today. It came out alot nicer than I had hoped for.
Before

After
Cleaned them with upholstery cleaner then shot it with Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric dye. After the dye felt dry to the touch between coats I hit the seat with a scrub brush to soften the fibers back up. I ran out of dye so I'll have to shoot the drivers side tomorrow, but it looks great in person.

Ah that looks so badass. Makes your car look mean.

C MY 4D · October 5th, 2008, 09:42 PM

Thanks man, I think next time i'll go ahead and spend the money on a set of seat brackets tho. They were a pain in the ass to build last night.

Lol I bet.

was it hard to dye them with that paint? Im thinking about doing mine that way

No it was easy.... If it doesn't hold up well I'll just pull the covers off and dunk them.
