Seat painting: Best way to paint "Yamaha" on seat?

[PureBlue]

Is there any special type of paint to use. I see some of you guys paint your seats. Does it crack. I just want to put YAMAHA on my Phazer seat.

I painted my seat last year because everybody said it was 'so easy' and 'lasted a long time'....what a mistake!! It looks nice right after you paint it, but within a few hundred miles the plyable material cracks the paint. And yes, I used the recommended paint.

My suggestion is to leave well enough alone.

you probobly used a vinyl coating instead of a vinyle dye..

The stuff i used is garanteed not to crack or peel ever.. it was $23 a can and soaked into the fabric instead of just coating it..

Mine looks great,, and you could jump up and down on it all day and it willl still look that way..

the stuff i used is called CLASSIC COAT by SEM i got it at a DUPONT paint store..

it is vital that you purchase the cleaner to clean the area to be painted, if it isnt clean it will not stick.

I would contact my local graphic and sign shop, have them print me a "paint mask" of what you want in a self adhesive vinyl. that's the best way.
