Ok, so im plannin on popin in my 7th gen seats when i get the celi back from the shop and they are black and red..like these..well..exactly these..

any ways, the back of these seats are gray, and my back seats are the grayish black colour but they have faded to an almost blueish colour. Any ways, i dont wanna go get them re upholstered, i was wondering if any one has used a fabric spray paint on their seats or carpet or n e thing??...im probably just gonna paint em black. Im also plannin on taking out my head liner, and sunvisors and painting them black aswell.

Don't know about paint of sorts, but I've used RIT dye on numerous items, but I soaked stuff. I dont know if you can apply it to bigger items and so forth...

If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

Get a dye, not a paint (spray-on dye, but there's a difference).

Black does tend to go purple over time with wear, according to a guy who did his carpets with VHT carpet and upholstery dye.
