[QUOTE="baptistpreach, post: 82830, member: 832"] Ok, I've been saving this for a little bit, but I think its time to share it. I've seen a couple boats here that looked awesome, but the seats just really took away from the overall look. I found myself in a predicament because I bought my carpet (maroon/black) and didn't even think about my seats. I searched high and low for seats that would match those colors nicely and found absolutely nothing. In fact, finding black anything seats was very sparse. Finally, I got the idea to see if I could dye my own seats whatever color I wanted, well, a few seconds later, google answered the Q for me. A trip to my local O'Reilly's produced a spray paint that was made to be used on vinyl. All I can say is WoW! The finished results were amazing. My seats started out tan and brown, and now they're maroon and black. I started off by painting the maroon just over where I wanted it, then I taped off the maroon, and painted the black section. I also took all hardware off seats with a simple philip's head screwdriver, and (after painting the seat hinges black) put them back on when I was finished. Here's the process start to finish. The best part was that the cans were maybe $7 each, so for less than $15 I took these seats and made them custom. Of course they also work awesome at sprucing up old seats and making them look new [/QUOTE]
