Took a black and silver Apex seat to an upholsterer and had him replace the silver with red. Check it out!

Looks good. How much did they charge you? I have a blue stripe I would like to replace with silver or all black. Can the stripe be pulled off?
 
Well, I got it done for $100, but the guy had done a lot of work for my friends. He said he could have probably gotten double that, but I don't know if that's true. I didn't shop around. The silver was cut out completely and the red was stitched in.
 
nice.. did the same thing to my 05 rx seat.. took blue out for all black. 75 bucks
 
Looks Nice! I've done 3 Apex Seat color changes now and I've used the Duplicolor Vinyl dye every time. With proper prep and a little patience I'd be hard pressed for anyone to know the seat was dyed....and it only cost me $5.00 for a can of the dye. JMHO.
 
I've used the red twice, once to change from the blue stripe to red and once to change the black to red. This last time I changed from silver to an all black seat.
 
Where did you get the dye?
 
Recently picked up an Apex seat with a blue stripe....had the local upholstery guy replace it with black.

He also fixed a small seam that had opened up. Cost $100 total and looks great!
