Thanks
Seat dyeing is something I've done a few times now. This one I haven't been as thorough as with other cars, mainly as it really didn't need it. On this one I just used alcohol, two dye coats then a couple of semi-matt finishing coats. I'll probably go back and stick some gloss coats on and then some more semi-matt as that gives a more durable finish.
In terms of the process, here are some more instructive pictures of a recolour job I did on some e63 m6 seats to go into my e36.
first off acetone and rubbing alcohol:
Sponged on first coats into crevices:
Then spray coat, can still see some ghosting here:
Then final dye coats:
Then final pics after sealing and semit-matt finishing coats
