Ruben525 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. That's true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bfast Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW DID YOU REMOVE THEM??????? Theres a tiny pin on one of the bars for each headrest. Take a paperclip and push it in and it pulls out of the seat. Kind of a locking pin, gotta kinda look for it or you wont know its there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTSSS Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 for the blue/red you could probably do them in silver or white and then go over it in blue/red right? or would the second color not sink in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stg313 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I started doing this yesterday with testors brand silver paint. I tried using both small paint brushes as well as q-tips and the q-tips proved way easier to use. I bought the smallest bottle they sell and dumped small amounts of paint into the cap and just dipped the q-tip in that. It's super easy and requires no artistic skill, just a steady hand. If you soak the qtip you can just set it near the edge of the embroidery and push down. The threads will absorb the paint and cover everything in the area! No need to mask off the letters or anything, it's super easy. I let it dry and decided I need a second coat, I just hope it's as easy as the first. I'll put up pictures once I put them back in the truck, prob 2 days. I hope this helps some of you that are scared to get paint on your leather!
