<VV> Dyeing seats

[Robert Paul]

I recently had my door panels dyed professionaly by a local Fibrenew Dealer, he is a retired body man with a super eye for color.  They are great and match the new seat color perfectly.  His only advice was to never use any silicone based spray on the dyed panels. He did some seats in a non-Corvair for me some year ago and theylooked great and lasted (no significant fading, wear or color transfer)

Cost was much less than new!
All the best
