We had some down time today at the shop so I cleaned up the interior in my S and since my seats were so badly destroyed, we decided to clean them up and dye them.

Here are pics before:





I think those show just how nasty the bolsters were. Now here's the pics after dying. Keep in mind we just dyed the seats and did not repair any panel of the seat.









Now, the pictures don't show it very well, but the seats when I got the car 3 years ago had been dyed, or they tried to dye the seats and did a horrible job. They tried to dye them a darker red and blend it in to the OEM red. We had to match the darker red so the OEM red wouldn't show through since red is a very thin pigment.

I don't want to boast, but we do a little bit extra when dying seats and not just enough to get by. Without completely repairing the panels that can be seen in the "before" pictures, the seats look perfect and pretty much back to OEM spec.

This is only temporary anyway as we are planning my interior build which will be black/blue Ultrasuede with black/blue perforated Ultrasuede and a matte blue carbon fiber. Can't wait.

what materials did you use?

 

SEM Solve, SEM Color Coat, rubbing alcohol, and SEM Leather & Plastic Preparer.

 

I used SEM products before. Its did wonders on the leather of a old integra i sold. good stuff.

 

Yep, we use their products on a daily basis.

 

that is a great turnaround and btw the seats were F--ed up lol.

 

Yes they were lol.

 

very nice... looks great...

 

Damn looks really nice. Can you turn red seats into a chocolate brownish color do you know? Similar to the Europe I believe interior color offered?
