I did my seats a couple of months ago and they still look geat. SEM makes a fine product.

Ed,

Where did you get the paint? I need burgundy.

Brian: I feel like a goof. I had so much stuff going on yesterday, I NEVER even considered taking it off. I was just focused on painting, and anxious to see how this stuff works. That and waiting in line at the counter to pay for it for 45 minutes while one guy tried to wait on customers and mix paint.

See the beginning of the thread, English Supply. They had quite a few colors.

I'd say they came from Rocky Mountain Sheepskin due to their quality, the PO bought them. Probably between $350-400...they're covers.

You can call your local auto paint supply store (ask a body shop of repute) and they may be able to mix the paint if they supply SEM products. Or you may send a small sample of your color to SEM, (cut a small bit of upholstery off of your seat underneath where no one can notice and send it to them). SEM will match it and provide a formula for mixing by the auto paint store. You can then get the paint and the prep materials from the store and put it in a sprayer. I use a Preval sprayer, available from a general paint store, and I use several so I have more than one available in case I experience one that clogs. You should prepare to keep spraying the entire job without stopping. Prevals are inexpensive and have a self contained air supply, but they clog if you're not careful. I keep a jar of thinner handy into which I can drop spray heads that clog before the paint drys, and can also dip the Preval spray tube into the thinner if it clogs. Wear a good mask.

One word of caution: if you don't want your SEM color to appear "wet" of glossy, ask SEM to include a de-glossing agent in the formula. I made the mistake of not asking, and my dash appears to have the garbage Armourall sprayed all over it. It reflects too much light. I need to get some dulling agent from SEM to spray it and return it to the stock appearance.
