Hi buggy heads, i have just fitted black bucket seats to the front of my buggy, my rear bench seat is tan. Has anyone ever dyed their seats and with what product ?... The other option is to fork out a fat £230+ for flatlands to make me one, I've been quoted £200 to have it retrimmed locally, or just make some kind of tool box type thingy ?

Dude, I could well be interested in a straight swap on rear seats.

I've a sidewinder (same as yours internay at the rear) and have tan fronts and black rears. Want to stay with the tan.

Got any pics?

This is my seat (excuse the daughter!!)

That's an awesome solution but looking at your front seats they look more cream, mine are tan.. Pm me your mobile number and i can send you a photo. Or Email. ( i struggle to put em on here with my crappy laptop )

I`ve used a product called Vinylcote on many occasions when messing about with car interiors - brilliant stuff !!

In 1970 I painted light blue 105e rear seats black to match the fronts and it was still looking good 5 years later when I sold it so the products worked even then.
If the alternative is recovering then give it a go, you have nothing to lose.  Only difference I can think of is it is exposed to the sun so may bleach over time.

can praise the covering power and lasting qualitys of vynalcote.think woolies or some other trim supply firm used to be able to colour match a product as well.my local trimmer would make a back seat like that for about £150.he made my front seat covers for £90.
