painting 'suede' on VIII seats

hey guys,

the 'suede' part of my seats are a little faded.I was wondering if spray painting them with the Duplicolor fabric paint will mess up the seats?I just want to touch it up a little.thanks!

when i had my civic, i painted my interior black with that stuff.. it looked ok, but was very uncomfortable... i would neverr do it to recaros.. take it to a upolstery shop and have them do it.. unless you dont mind crunchy, stiff seats

I have heard of others doing it. It's not something I would do though.
