Ken,

Did you get this material locally? Just wondering if you had tried SMS Auto Fabrics and what they said. Good thing Just Dashes has their act together and will sell you the dye. That local shop can suck monkey butt.

My car had all vinyl seats in it and we found all the original material at a supplier, but when we ordered the material, they realized that there was not enough of one of the colors.......so we decided to dye that color as it was the seat sides and backs.........That's when the Dog and Pony show started and another month has gone by.......It falls into the learning curve of preparing a little better.....I didn't think the seats would be such a Hurdle.......But
Now I ARE Smarter............
