    Redying a Seat

    I have a really good condition seat on the GS1100G I just bought, but the PO had red inserts installed into the seat. This won't match the color I plan to repaint with. Has anybody ever tried to redye a seat? I looked on line and there are dyes available and info on how to do it, I just wondered if anybody here has ever actually tried it and how did it turn out? Thanks.

    Find an upholstery shop nearby and take the seat to them. I am sure they would know what it would need.

      I have had good luck with over the counter vinyl paint/dye. Smells horrific. Use it outside.

      Here's the website for the stuff

        yes that duplicoulou stuff works well.
        Used it on some grey faded jeep bits with excellent results.

          'Trevor' on this site had a local shop dye his seat on his 1150, turned out great. You could get in touch with him over the details.
