    Changing Seat Colors

    When I bought my GS1100G it had a two toned seat of red and black to match the paint. I don't care for the two toned seat look, so I wanted to put the seat back to all black. I watched the video from DupliColor on how to refinish seats and bought a can of Dup;iColor Vynal and Fabric Spray in color black. It comes in many color selections. After I thoroughly cleaned, washed and dried the seat, I simply sprayed on the DupliColor lightly, several coats. It is amazing how easy it was to not only cover the red part, but to refresh the black part also. Now it looks like I have a brand new seat. Great stuff! If your seat looks dull or you want to change the color, I highly recommend this product.

          Sofar, so good. Texture didn't change at all, you can't tell the recolored area from the rest of the seat at all. The durability is excellent, nothing has rubbed off or discolored. I highly recommend this so easy to use product to color your seat.

            If I ever need to recover a seat, the replacement material will not be black. Maybe gray or tan. Black is just too hot in bright sunlight.
