Send us some picts. Having it recovered is not too expensive.

Fascinating. I didn't know you could paint upholstery again. I'd like to do my swing back bench cushion so I don't lose the Sea Pro stitching in a re-cover.

If you do this, I'd love to hear how it turned out for ya. I tried vinyl upholstery and trim paint on a car's interior once and it looked great but started peeling after a short time.

I ordered a can of the stuff gnrphil recommended. Nothing to loose. Next step will be a recover or replace seat/cooler with a leaning post. Leaning post is where I need to go as the cooler is worthless when I am running even to put one knee on. Do like it for the dry storage though. Will post up when I do it. Have done a couple car seats with good results.. well painted seats door panels to sell so looked good, longevity unknown but have always used duplicoats product.

Skeeter',
You have more than 1 project going on or did you have to buy all 4 of those to do your vinyl?

Three cans for the bench and the back, buffing compound for another boat that I did some glass work on that needs the gel coat buffed out to gloss. I bought their recommended system to try out. If it turns out nice I have a set of bmw leather seats(boneyard snag) that are tan. Want to change their color for the 64 F100 I am slowly building and recovering is cost prohibitive.

Really could have used two cans of the color/vinyl coat. Primer and top coat good for 4 time this size project. Prep was washing with diluted bleach and Joy four times and a day in sun . Then fllowing manufatures instructions. Before   After
 post a picTime and use will tell now. Looks good for now . Four coats of color on each piece(would have liked another two) two coats of no tack. |

Forgot to mention cover was in good shape and still soft flexible. Primmer prep did contition it and made it more supple. Do this in a well vented area. I did not wear a high volic mask and should have even outside with a light breese. Will get a treatment of 3m 302 after 48 hours.

That looks great. It looks like mildew had set in. Did you try anything to remove the mildew prior to the paint job? The seats on my golf cart looked like that )maybe worse) and I tried Star Brite's mildew and stain remover. I had to do it twice but it removed all the mildew and they look new now.  |

Yes my buddy who professionally details boats/cars worked on them a while back, better but fabric was etched. I scrubbed with a cup of bleach to gal. h20 and some dish soap to kill the mildew and get any sunscreen off. Scrubbed several times and left wet in sun. Even after all that the SEM vinyl prep pulled stain up. Anyone doing this, have a couple lint free rags to work the prep spray with.

Been a while and the painting did not hold up with the time test. Stains showing again... Best just to get reupholstered right away. Damn no option to add pic with phone app. .

I made my own coating and it looked fantastic... for a year until the mildew came through. Last year I bought some of that flex-seal to get me another year or two so that I can get all of it redone at the same time. so far so good.
