Dye Stitching Question
Hey I have the orange stitching, on my car and I ordered a SLP short shifter and want to dye the stitching but it's black, so what's the best pen?

take a Tide stain remover pen and bleach the stitching white, then use the fabric dye pen

I agree that would be your best option, and if it doesn't work out it's easy to black something back out

A friend of mine used a colored sharpie to color her stitching red. Color the stitching with the marker, wipe off the excess ink. When faded you can easily reapply. She did her whole car this way. You would need to bleach the black stitching before coloring but test a small area first to make sure it does not damage the leather.

If you tear the stitching apart you will notice its a very simple hand stick. You can restich them that's what I did to my steering wheel and shifter
