Painting Seats

Post by davery »

I am looking to replace my seats with something a little more contemporary. The seats are worn and have that gangsta lean. The only seats I am seeing are black leather. How difficult is it to paint a black leather seat to match my tan interior?

Probably easier to paint them black than tan. Never really liked that stuff as it wears off. Try ebay or one of the vendors for a seat back or on the parts wanted section here on the forum. I have a tan back for the passenger side, but I'm guessing you need one for the driver side.
