white interior looks ricey and it gets dirty really fast

black is alright, but you might have to apply the spray so often as they fade

Fabric Color. Ebony Black.

Used it in September....no fading yet, doesn't bleed onto wet clothes....overall I like it, cheap and easy to do.

Arisol spray smell takes about a week to go away.

the spray looks really nice, but here is my experience with it.

I like it, it lookks good, it is consistant in color and coverage, and no, it does not fade, or bleed into wet or dry clothes, ot skin.

My complaint Had a set of 93 integra stars that were cloth, color tan. PUt them in a 95 ex coupe, with black interior, looked great.

The seats became hard on the surface. If you imagine your seat covers being like very short hairs, this stuff was like hairspray. It didnt make tyhe cushion any harder, just made the cover "tighter?"

<U>This my my one time personal experience.</U> trust me, there isnt anything like OEM black.

Spray holds up ok, but will eventually flake off. The amount of time it takes for it to come off depends on how much time you put into putting it on. Good luck!

or you can pull the skins and dye them...it will be a big PITA, but will look nice and stay soft, only thing is when you put them back on, they may not fit as tight. Or you could have an upholstery shop dye them for you.

i heard a good way to do it is to take out the plastic dash panels and door panels, and use car paint on them. anyone know if this is good or any better way? preferable cheap, haha.
