oh i forgot to say what i used.. i was at advance auto the other day. i saw this stuff. Vinyl/Carpet interior Paint.. its like a spray paint that goes into the fabric.. pretty cool shiot. only $5 a can. i used 1 and a half on the back. its all goood.

just be sure to duct tape all the tan fabric off.. so JUST the tweed shows.. and bam! spray it up! wanna do a mitsu sign.. make a lil cut out of duct tape and bOom. there ya go!

Just becarefull with that, i painted the seats in my honda with that crap, and after about 3 weeks or people sitting on it, it starts wearing off. unless no-one will be sitting in your back seats, then it's all good

when it wears off, does it wear off on the people sitting in the back seats? or does it just fade away? That would suck if people had the paint all on their clothes.

yeh im wondering that too; it does look real nice. I might consider doing it to my rear seats since no one sits in em that often.

Nice Job

Peace
