Post by: insideoutland on January 07, 2008, 10:14 PM
right . hopefully gettin my hands on a few old seats. there elina/kashimax/shotgun. they are quite used, and have some scuffs and nicks here and there. (but no cracks)
i was goin to give them a clean and a dye. but was woundering if anyone has given seats a sand to try and get out some of the scuffs etc???? :-\
i know these r not gona be mint but could clean up nice for riders

cheers lads

Actually mate just about to do this on a Tioga FS Kashimax seat, its white currently with a couple of scuffs at the back, best thing to do is use a low grade wet/dry sandpaper then dye the sucker. Mines going royal blue to match my GT build. I'll try and wack up some before/after piccy's  ;)
