Default Faded Recaros?????????

I have seen tech how to articles about this but as usual i cant seem to find the article anywhere. I have a set of Black Recaro SRD seats that have gotten a bit faded due to sun exposure. What method do you guys use to get these back in shape and is there something i can apply like a spray on that would help protect the material once this is done. Thanks in advance Guys!!!!

Upholstery paint works if you feel comfortable using spray paint on your $1000 seats. I did used it on the top of my rear seats and it worked pretty well.

i think the only correct way to do it is to send them to recaro and have them redone . i tried dying the fabric but just doesnt seem to work .

when u buy a new set of recaros there is some paperwork that comes with it. one part says that you can contact recaro to redo you seats to match the interior of your car. not saying it would be under warranty u would have to pay for it but not sure how much it would cost
