Painted my seats

Everything in my interior is black except for the seats which has been bugging me forever.

Thanks guys. It should last a very, very long time. If you look at this thread where he painted his, he updated the thread 2 years later and they still looks AWESOME.

I am going to get a set of EVO 9 seats in the future as they are much more comfier and have more cushion. anyways, these will at least hold me off.

My friend did this years ago and it is still holding up very well. I did this on my vinyl seats.

Did you use a clear coat? I'm guessing not.

I paid $5 and change for the can at autozone. I only bought one can, still could use another coat on the front and I still have to paint the rears. I suggest getting 3 cans for both front and back seats.

I'd be afraid the paint might leak off the seat and into the clothes I'd be wearing.
