Can it be done ?
Ive just brought some second hand seats with the intention of having them re covered but surprisingly they are in mint condition. Which poses the question can leather and vinyl be re coloured like these ads say ?

The seats are a magnolia/cream colour, i would need them to be a tan colour to match.

The same question for vinyl paints like this http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=8...

Anyone tried this
cheers

I had the seats of my F355 refurbished and the guy used a similar type of product. The transformation is unbelieveable and about a year later it still looks as good as the day it was done. Dont know if that helps but does show what is possible smile

I've used some spray paint called Vinylcoat (or something like that) which worked pretty well, it did start to rub off after a few years of daily use but I could easily have repainted it if that mattered.
