Title: Seat dying
Post by: WINI on January 26, 2018, 10:47 AM: Has anyone tried dying a Viscount seat before, and if so, did it take?

Only ever done the one, an elina, which took really well but I know some plastic types don't fair as well.

Long since gone mate, sorry. This was pre-emigration. And re-migration...

Some quality work there Nick! Though I fear the cost would be more than finding a mint seat!

Yep £50 for a 85 Viscount 2169 GT seat which was badly rashed
