Re: Recaro Seat Resto

Dahberg -

I'm really glad I could help. Everyone else here has been very
helpful to me, so I'm pleased that I could lend a hand. Don't
hesitate to ask more questions.

I'm pretty sure I bought Kit #3 because I'm also going to dye all of
the other vinyl pieces like the door panels and console parts. All
of these parts have significant sun damage. I used about 1/3 of a 32
oz. bottle of the dye for the seats and will probably use about
another 1/3 for the remaining parts. The dye is really thin (like
the consistency of rubbing alcohol) but the stuff covers great with
one coat. Also, I have used about 1/2 bottle of vinyl prep - due to
the poor condition of my seats, particularly the driver's seat, I had
to use alot of it while wet sanding to get the desired results. I've
used about 1/3 of a bottle of the other liquids so far.

Also, so you know what kind of effort you are looking at it took me
about 4-6 hours per seat to wet-sand, with me being pretty particular
about the results of the sanding.

Thanks again to Mike N. for the help w/ the interior paint from a
while back. I spray painted all of the interior components a couple
of weekends ago and they look mint.

Maybe sometime this summer I will have everything back together and
be able to drive the car!

Cass
