Jaymz Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 before I had my truck in its last car show I took my head rests into a interior shop to have them stich em' red. Guy said he wouldn't even touch them, the cost would be through the roof because he would have to literally make the head rest over again, and stick his own "SS" pattern into the head rest. he didn't know of anyways to get the true color red to show. If you paint over the factory stiching with red it looks like maroon puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sss25 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I did mines silver with a deco and so far its held up pretty good. (Going on 6 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben525 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Anyone else have pics of there's just wondering how they all came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawknwv Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Well now Im torn between doing a blue to match the truck or go with silver. Thers no way of testing a small area by doing this cuz soon as the paint touches the sticing it will be in there. I just dont want it to turn out like doody, lol.

GetWithIt Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 About 3 years ago, I had an estimate on having my emblems "outlined" in red stitching.................Was quoted a little over $100 IIRC.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kckid1695 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 It looks really good in person. Brian did mine in my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont want it to turn out like doody, lol. just an idea- have a place that does embroidery stitch something up for you with the same color thread then test a few different shades of blue and silver on it. That way you can see if blue shows up well. And if you do perform that test, make sure to take a picture of the sample for everyone to see along with the brand/shade of each paint color. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sss25 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Here's mine done with the silver deco. If your having any doubts just go ahead and do it man it makes the ss stitching stand out and looks a million times better.

I wanna do mine but I have doubts what if I do them and then end up wishing I would have done them a lil darker or not at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Well in theory, darker should never be a problem. Just start out with a light color and if you want them darker, paint over the lighter color. Hopefully there shouldnt be a problem with that.

firehawknwv Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sounds like a good idea. I may have my roomates gf paint it for me cuz shes an artist wiht paint and such. So she has a more steady hand for that kind of thing. I dont want to get the paint on my seat, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
