How do you dye car seats black?

My car is getting a little old and the seats don’t hide that fact! Although the car still runs like it’s new, I want to update my seat color to black to hide the aging. How do I do this?

I’m glad to hear your car still runs like it’s new, let’s get the inside looking good to match it! You can dye your cloth seats using a sprayable fabric dye and a brush with stiff bristles.

Here are some tips:

Start off by taping plastic sheets inside of your car, leaving only the seats exposed.

Be sure to wear latex gloves for the dyeing process and follow the instructions on the dye.

Go one seat at a time. Carefully spray the dye onto the seat and use a brush to spread it evenly into the fabric.

Let it dry fully.
