Im redoin a bucket seat, its got some worn out areas, faded an all on the fabric... i was thinking of re dying it to same color, black, but not sure how to go about it....

Is it simple job? jus like doin hair dye? lol

Do shops like Spot light sell such fabric dyes?

Or even SCA and Autobarn

cheers....

Not sure if such a good idea, seeing as though it will run when humid, sweaty etc.

hey ive fabric dyed my old bucket seats and it was the same as yours. just faded. re-sprayed them black with vinyl dye and they turned out well for me. but the only thing is that the material doesnt feel as smooth as it used to be. a bit rough.

Don't dye it, as it will fade again

My driver side seat also worn and faded,
also looking for a good idea to repair that!:cool:
