UPDATE: Now that the seats have been dyed for a year, I can give you guys a complete update.
Fading - The car spends most of the time outside in direct sunlight, and I haven't noticed any fading.
Smell - The initial smell when we first dyed the seats only lasted about 1-2 weeks, and then went away. It helps to let the car "air out" by sitting outside in the sun with the windows down.
Texture - When we first sprayed the seats, the fabric had stiffened up a little bit, and felt more coarse. After a year of sitting in the seats they have softened up, but still feel a little stiff. Although that is to be expected when you're essentially "painting" the fabric.
Paint Transfer: I've never had any of the dye transfer onto my clothes or stain anything else that I've placed in the seat. Also haven't had any paint rub off of the seats.
Overall I'm happy with the results of the dye, and it has held up great after a year without any issues.

[@angelg2927]

Thank you this is most helpful. I am wanting to get grand marquis seats into a crown vic but the seats are tan and the car is black leather and I thought to myself can I paint the seats? And voila this video answered my question. Thank you again

[@noeldiaz1354]

we need an update on how it hold up

[@yoitskane6353]

Noel Diaz He commented an update a week ago.👍🏼

[@charlesanim-mensah359]

Please will the spray be ideal for a 2008 Toyota yaris brown fabric car seat to black with fading and staining in clothes?

[@sherwinorellana5349]

Keep up the good work 👌

[@BlueSky-po6ee]

What kind of spray paint that you use

[@appleheadjackson3524]

Will the paint Come off if you try to shampoo the seats

[@eedabc123]

i am sooo ready2do this

[@kacewhite4746]

what is the use with the brush done for? is it to help saturate the fabric fibers more thoroughly during the "painting" process? i noticed with the back section especially that the color immediiately deepened when getting brushed on.

[@AbnormalGarage]

Yes, it gets the paint down into the fabric and keep the material from getting stiff once it dries.

[@bereniceoropeza9089]

How long does it usually last? Trying to do it in my gray interior :(

[@lisawalls1007]

How did it turn out? Mine is gray also I'm gonna try it today

[@pewpewjuju1278]

Hey, I’m just curious would you recommend AGAINST doing this without removing any parts? I wanted to try it but without taking anything out, I’m scared of breaking things lol if I just cover up important stuff with tape/bags?

[@AbnormalGarage]

I'd recommend removing the pieces you're wanting to paint from the car. Once they're out it's much easier to work with.

[@travisketteman864]

How many cans did it take to do the whole seats?

[@AbnormalGarage]

2 cans

[@MinuteCrafts-fc7ml]

Is recolouring interior especially seat covers long lasting? I think, the new colour will start peeling off in a few weeks. Am I right?

[@tuhituhi701]

No. I painted my carpeting black and has lasted about 2 years with minimal fading in the area we step on.

[@joegooderz2735]

The only problem i have with this stuff is that it makes the fabric stiff. It almost acts like velcro if you wear cloth shirts.

[@bb-em4th]

Joe Gooderz I was wondering about that.

[@lcdp9459]

Maybe that’s why he was brushing it? I mean, I don’t know but maybe?

[@joegooderz2735]

I tried it. It's very stiff at first and it does stick to clothing like Velcro, however, it softens up the more you sit on it. Areas that you don't touch, like the back of the headrest, will remain stiff.

[@joeorton1218]

Does the color transfer to the clothing?

[@AbnormalGarage]

No, never had any issues with the color transferring onto my clothes. The paint worked great!

[@bichaonextasis]

nice

[@jerrypino5608]

Update now

[@abrahammaldonado7479]

[@ryanandies2800]

[@AbnormalGarage]

[@iandrost6616]

Was that the gloss black??

[@AbnormalGarage]

Yes, it was gloss

[@luke50469]

How did the color hold up?

[@FincTM]

How did the seats hold up? Did any paint rub off on your cloths?

[@AbnormalGarage]

It’s held up fine, no issues so far.

[@mauricedupree8148]

What about the smell. How long did it take and what did u do to get it to go away.

[@elisscaliving5864]

Maurice Dupree i heard it takes a week

[@smokescreen4268]

im literally doing this to mine lol

[@miguelzubia543]

It's been 3 years now how is it doing???

[@AbnormalGarage]

I don’t have any new updates. The car was sold, and I’ve moved onto the next project. Seats were still holding up great when I sold it though.

[@Liz._.Valencia]

Has tan interior

[@bionicsasquatch]

well see you got in a hurry paint one direction brush the opposite not back and forth ….

[@dogshampoonetwork6051]

You wasted tape. Grocery bag and tape would be better.

[@stormnation6387]

does it really matter?
