Fabric dye for seats

[chris snell]

My black cordura Exmoor seat fabric is faded after years of sun and desert dirt. As I understand it, this particular fabric is NLA. I had them professionally cleaned but they're still faded. I'm wondering if there is a way to re-dye them dark black in a way that they won't bleed onto my clothing. Anybody tried this?

Probably any upholstery shop could do it. Stop by one of the local car dealerships. Most dealers use mobile guys for stuff like that.

SEM Color Coat works on carpet so I'm sure it would work on fabric seats. I've used SEM products a lot and am very pleased with the results.

I wonder how it would feel on a fabric seat. Would it be like a Plastidip and make a contiguous coating over the entire fabric or would it be absorbed by the fibers and retain the original texture?

Chris,
Get a set of these and be done.

I have the tactical black and couldn't be happier. Tough, useful and made right here in the Phoenix metro area.
