if they are fabric seats, dylon? a friend used it for a canvas tilt on an old landy but obviously try a small hidden bit first but if leather try someone like connolly or pick up one of the classic mags as there are quite a few firms who do leather dying products

I've just tried this on my van seats. They're light grey with blue flecks. Tried the Dylon in the washing machine and it hasn't worked at all. I'm going to try the stuff you soak it in next week so I'll post up here how I get on. The only stuff I can find really for upholstery, other than for dyeing leather/vinyl is spray paint  Not to sure about that! |

just be careful that everytime you sit in the car it doesnt mark your clothes! my old boss at work dyed his seats and came into work the next day with a black back, spoon... that stuff wasnt surpost to come off either, think it also depends what materials your seats made of

Thanks for the reponses guys.
Would of helped if I said it was for my 924S. Want the fabric centers doing.
Was told to avoid dylon as it doesnt really "stick" to car fabrics.
The VHT only seems to be for carpets and vinals.
I did find a spray in the US but that appears to be waterbased (Get sweaty, dye your clothes to?)
