Merch idea: Shirts that say "Now, don't get silly on me!" with a cartoon Slade underneath text. Would be happy to provide designs!

Thanks!! That would be funny!! 😂

Very nice illustration, One tip on rattle spray cans I was taught also was to clean the tip like you showed and then turn upside down and spray till the clean air, LOL, (propellant) comes out, clearing the nozzle path. I re-stained years ago some leather corvette seats when I was rebuilding it. Luckily, I was able to buy the stain at an automotive paint store and used an air compressor.

Yes very good tip, I like when people add into the comment section. I have turned my cans upside down quite often then sprayed, I didn’t think to bring that up on here. Thank you so much

I usually have a rag with a little acetone to wipe it clean and I've never had issues with a clogged nozzle later on. Most cans of paint I've seen say to do turn upside down like you said but I've always been convinced the company wants us to run out of propellant to move on to the next can. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I'll remain unmoved on this quest to stick it to "big paint" lol

Love how that seat turned out. Well done.

Hi Colored paint has dye in it for color. Dye is just the colorant. For soft, flexible surfaces, dye is appropriate. Paint is best for hard surfaces.

Oh yeah! I also use a magic eraser when cleaning the seats. The abrasive nature helps the dye adhere better. I haven’t used that VHT brand before. Does it stay glossy?

This one will stay glossy. It depends which one you buy. I’m sure you can buy an matte finish also

We have a vinyl seat that goes in a horse drawn Sleigh and we want to change it from black to red. Do you think that would work? Now you changed yours from a light color blue to a dark color black. We can see that working out OK

Do you think this would work on the vinyl interior on a semi truck and also doing the seats, im not sure if they are vinyl or leather but the current colour is a turquoise/blue type colour and I'd like to change to a blood red type colour or possibly natural brown leather type colour. It's a working truck. Do you think it would last if i took the time and steps like you have done? Or is it likely to flake and become a mess? Also if it ever did start to flake one day is it possible to remove the paint somehow and take it off cleanly to return it to its original colour? Thanks in advance

Great idea, but it has a style of Paint and modification

It’s all about the prep work. But I think you already know that. I have one that is three years old that has never peeled yet. But I cannot verify how long to be honest with you.

But how durable is it?

Honestly, I have done it this way for many, many years! Nothing is like original. But I’ve had some last five or six years and even longer. If it’s a work truck or a work vehicle. Obviously it’s going to take a lot more abuse
