Changing seat colors?

[77 Z]

Sprayed mine as well . Went over a light tan with black. Just take your time and do not try to give it a finish look on the first go around. Spray the tough areas first then go to the flat surfaces like the back side of the seatback. So far, and this is after 9 months, no flaking , fading or anything. They look as great as the day that I first sprayed them and the door panels.

If you dont like the finished work..then get them redone by a trim shop in the fashion you want.

This will at least let you know what the color will look like as far as the interior and how it goes with the exterior..

Thanks for the replies guys i don't think I'll go with that kit advertised i'd rather go through too intense and get them made up in leather mmmm leather would be far nicer than vinyl.

However seriously considering a bucket seat also.

Like I said , I sprayed mine, worked great and also has given me the ability to see what I think of an all black interior. I too am thinking of going with some other form of seat, i.e racing or a newer version more like capt chairs with the multiple arm rest , which would entail removing the arm rest from the door panel and covering the screw holes...who knows , thats what makes restoration so much fun, the different ideas you as well as others come up with from time to time..

I think you may offend some of the members with your use of the word "restoration"-it means to but back as original. Mounting different seats would definitely not be restoration! What you want to do is modification-before every body gets their panties in a bunch, the only person who has to be happy with your car is you! Go for it, and post pictures!

Oops... you are correct..its not restoration if a modification is being planned or is going on...hmm didnt think of it that way..so I guess what I am doing is modifying my Z to the way that I want it to look like as there are a number of things that I am upgrading as well as updating...poor choice of terminology on my part...either that or I need to go to Hybird Z and post these ideas or questions there....

I am doing the same sort of thing, with a twist. Any nodification I do will have to be done to be easliy restorable later. I want to be able to put my car back to original later on.
