Dye for 06 RTX seat. Pics of solid black seat

[BlueByYou2000]

I assume it came in an aerosole can? Does that part of the seat look any different than the other part of the seat texture wise?

Yes, it was a can. And the texture is the same, but the dye is just a tad darker than the factory dye...BBY

I can't tell from the picture, did you use the gloss or the satin?

vinyl dye is fantastic and will not rub off..nice choice.

Looks great...how it should have from the factory in my opinion..
but i've used vinyl dye for years..I used to detail cars...anything with the word dye in it is subject to fading (look at your fav black shirt that's been washed a dozen times) and cracking or peeling..
with the extremes this vinyl substrate has to go through...(the seat vinyl)sitting in a trailer on a 90 deg summer day to out on the trail at -20..you can bet your a** that there's expansion and contraction and when that happens something will fail..also can be affected by ultra violet light

Guys, I found some dye online to color my goofy looking silver stripe black. It was really easy and turned out fantastic. The company said the product is used on car interiors, leather and vinyl. Once applied it is permanent and will not chip. Heres some pics

LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Can you post a closer picture, if you have one?
I wonder which color of Black would match the best?

SEM is the best brand.i used to change color on car seats all the time.if prepped right it wont rub off.you would want statin finish.

sure can, you can tell up close that the vinyl is a bit smoother on the old silver stipe portion of the seat. The dye is a bit darker and has a bit more sheen to it. Looks really good in person

Looks awsome.... My gt seat cover is getting replaced under warranty and I asked for 07 rtx cover. Should look great.

BLUEBYYOU, thanks for the great tip. For 8 bucks and 20 min of masking and painting, I have the great looking seat my GT should have been made with. I was considering an upholstery shop do the fix, but for 8 bucks I'll take my chances on it cracking-peeling-fading. BTW I could not scratch through the dye with my fingernails. Pretty bitchen stuff. Two thumbs up. Will post pictures soon.
