but not all of us want to change colour, i got Beige and i just wanna make its nice again, cos even the lightest stains show up.. those createx colours are like the rubber writting type of thing on t shirts, has to be heat set. not good unless you want a full latex seat :|

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well it isnt ever going to be colorfast as effectively all you are doing is putting paint on your interior. Ive had a few people ring me saying it didnt work and it did flake/rub off!

This is extra fustrating... We have someone in the 'know how' of interiors and then people who have done it, havent replied... I feel like I need to potentially sacrifice my pretty good condition red interior to find out what could/will happen... Respect to YEP_boost trying to help...

its a dye not a paint so it shouldnt flake. i've used it on t-shirts, it works pretty well..even holds up to washes. its ment for dyeing things that you cant dye with conventional (rinse off) dyes. theres a vid of a bloke doing the seats without taking them out of the car http://www.simplyspray.com/demo.html

hey guys, i did it, unfortunately i sold my car a while ago so i cant show you pics. However it does rub off eventually, after a year or so i noticed it was starting to rub off on the drivers seat at the bottom where you sit. The other parts (door trims, glove box) etc werent rubbing off. If your that worried about it just buy 1 can and try it on something.
