My car seat is cracking and looks terrible, can you paint/ dye it?

We’ve all seen the videos on Youtube that tell you how to “paint your seat and make it look brand new”. Please don’t do that! And no, we won’t do it for you.

Painting/ dying a high wear area on your seat is asking for trouble and a lot of headaches. Dying usually consists of paint and then a sealer but depending on what you use to clean your seat and how much wear it takes, that sealer will come off and often leaves you with painted clothes and splotchy seats. Some products take the dye out of your clothes and transfer it to the seat. We recommend dying/ painting/ fill only on small tears or cracks in areas that don’t get wear such as the back sides of seats, door panels, etc.

If your seat is in need of some love, we have other options for you. Our repairs consist of cutting the damaged panels out of the seat and sewing in new, matching material. We can typically get a pretty close match that is hard to discern from the original seat and our customers frequently tell us “it looks like a new seat”. Replacing panels ensures you have a durable and lasting repair that you won’t need to worry about in the future.

Call us for specific pricing and customized quote. Most panel replacements can be done for around $400 and take less than a day to complete. Our most common repairs are done on Mercedes and Lexus seat bottoms.
