Dye stitching in interior

[stikSS]

Here are some pics of the orange i've started in both my wifes and my car.... I'm not finished yet... temp sucks here... too damn cold to be outside!!!

looking good StikSS, just others will know, what are you using to wipe of the excess ink? i used a damp cloth followed by adam leather cleaner. i did mine 2 months ago and it still looks really good, even of the high traffic areas. thanks for posting.

I used a damp cloth to start with but it made the undyed area damp and the marker wouldn't cover as well.... so I use a dry microfiber towel. Do about 4/5 inch area and wipe with a swift pass over the area it comes right up without smearing.... any other suggestions?

Good luck, Alfie

No, I only tried Walmart and Micheal's, but looks like Hobby Lobby will be my next stop before I resort to online purchase. I leave Saturday for 10 wks of combat training followed by 6 months in the desert, so looks like this project is gonna have to wait till I get back anyway. Bright side is maybe by then someone will have found a pen that matches the RJT!

Notice I did not do the stitching where the leather stopped and the cloth started. I did a very small part on the other side of the seat and the blue paint pen will stain the black/grey cloth. . . I may try and get to these threads by using a small brush.

I have the gray seat inserts on my Vic Red SS and I am dyeing my stitching after I test the pens. I bought 5 different red pens that were used by people here in this thread to test them.

However, Chevrolet had the same idea and beat us to the punch. They just released pics on a new appearance package for 2011; called the Synergy Series. I have attached a couple of photos of that interior....note the red stitching.

I've been drooling over this interior since pics surfaced a few months back- wonder how much a full retrofit would cost??

I was wondering the same thing. If they cost as much as new covers for the 2007 Toyota Camry SE cloth that I need to replace.... it will be $688 for just the back of one seat. The seat cushion cover is probably close to the same price. The rear bench seat cover alone is $800... So $4,000-$5,000 for everything. At that point it would cost 50-75% as much to have a reputable upholstery shop do some custom leather work.

Oh dude I'm wondering about the entire interior conversion! I want all the lights and stuff too!

BTW, I should be done dying the stitching in my interior tomorrow, will post pics!
