Well i picked up my leather explorer seats and my new rear bumper.






well my seats dont match my interior but i cant complain since everything was free. but they need a good cleaning. what the best way to clean these seats? and im thinking about painted them black with the dupli-color interior paint i have used on the rest of interior and it holding up great. i saw on trucks a long time ago they took acetone or alcohol or something and cleaned with it and it was suppose to open the pores in the seats so the paint would stick better. does anyone remember that? because i really want black seats since the rest of my interior is black.

 

not sure about that

for the seat belts, remove the seabelt track and drill out the hole that is kind of up and behind the seat belt buckle to 7/16 and nut and bolt the buckle to the seat

 

thanks man i was looking at them and figured it out in my head pretty much

 

ur smart LOL

 

thanks

 

I wouldn't paint them. I don't think it would come out as good as you would hope

 

i got on the duplicolor web site and going to see if they can tell me if its going to flake off or not but there web site says vinyl seats as something the interior paint is suppose to be good for but idk yet

 

Lewks gud

 

It works great on leather, Ive done it before and it looked oem

 

Oh yeah, we used red scotchbrite

 

Korey do you have any pics of the b4 and after?

 

nah dude, no pics

 

seat covers? wtf why would you paint leather?

 

i say paint em. spray paint em

 

I say sell'em. I wish I had that bumper. I'm needing a non chrome one so my painter can turn it DSG and replace my chrome one.

 

im not selling my seats

 

well it looks like the seats will be black.

just gonna say it almost seems like a waste to put leather seats in your truck. just sayin.

 

lol

 

dude if you have nothing helpful or nice stay the hell out of my threads

 

I don't know man...Vinyl ≠ Leather

 

yeah im not sure either im still on the fence about it

 

paint will stick to the seats for a wile but it will wear out soner are later i dont it to a old car we had paint lasted about 3 months and then it had spots that was war off i would just get em recovered.

 

Just get some seat covers. A lot cheaper than getting them recovered and will last longer than getting them painted.

 

You're gonna end up with black on all your clothes after a while...

Don't do it. Just sell em and get new ones if you desperately need black leather.
