Title: Spraying a seat Question?????
Post by: hokuspokus74 on August 29, 2014, 06:07 PM: I have a faded blue seat that i am looking to spray,it wont dye so it wont,so how would you go about doing a good resto job on one and would the paint end-up coming off if you were using the seat etc then once it was sprayed would you use a lacquer on it.

cheers

The only problem is that the colour range is quite limited

Post by: snoopy72 on September 24, 2014, 05:56 PM: There's loads of aeroyal's about, i'd wait for the right colour, dye it all depends on the grade and quality of the plastic
