I'm doing my blue and black seat tomorrow. I can't wait to see how it turns out

A little off topic but does anyone else wonder why the gray part of the seat is a different material than say the red or blue in the other seats? The gray is hard to keep clean, the red/blue are leather/vinyl and much easier to keep clean. I think I am gonna black mine out too, thanks for all of the pics and info.

I just painted mine and it looks sweet.
Thanks for posting this thread. I just saved $100 on a new seat cover

I have a "SE" with the blue and black combo....

are you guys painting the entire seat or just the blue part???

i think all the nytro's have the same seat material or is the "se" different???

did this on a rev a couple yrs ago and worked out well

 

[phatkid]

also are you using a "satin" black or "gloss black"

just want it too look right the first time as I want to black out my whole sled

thanks

I masked the blue portions off, and painted with a satin black. IMO, it matches perfect. This was on a blue 09 xtx seat, which is identical to the SE seat.

BIG TIME....

Thanks thats exactly what I was looking for Im thinking about painting all the blue on my sled black because I ride with two other guys with nytro "se"'s also and want mine to look different then theirs ....

I also had all my plastics painted black before I put my graphics on. Should look sweet, good luck!

I painted to entire seat. I used the more glossy black not the flat satin black

How many coats of paint did you guys put on initially the first time?

How many coats of paint did you guys put on initially the first time?

I applied 2 coats, 1 to cover and the second to clean up any spots I missed. I'm not sure this is the correct way to do it, but that's the way I did it. I have no riding time on this yet, so I am not sure how it will hold up.

Here is a Yamaha custom seat cover and my custom 2" seat rise. The cover was folded up in a box thus the slight wrinkle on the bottom.
