Spraying a seat Question?????

[hokuspokus74]

I have a faded blue seat that i am looking to spray,it wont dye so it wont,so how would you go about doing a good resto job on one and would the paint end-up coming off if you were using the seat etc then once it was sprayed would you use a lacquer on it.

cheers

Was a good resto thread on here a couple of weeks ago, when the guy sprayed a seat red. Just see if I can find it, and put a link up.

If it's not damaged and just faded you are much better off with spray vinyl dye. It penetrates the plastic slightly and is very wear resistant
The only problem is that the colour range is quite limited

Don't wear white jeans when riding it  even the dye comes off slightly

Cheers guys  its similar to an aeroyal seat,so how well would the spray stick to it?

Good link there to your thread Clint,that stuff look the doga danglies  as for the creswell site i rang them before about getting a tin of red anodized spray they were going to charge me nearly £50 for postage to northern ireland because it is dangerous to post it lol i nearly fell of the chair,so i might need to buy that vinyl spray of fleabay

Is there any way to dye a plastic seat such as as aeroyal etc,or if i was to spray it with enamel or other type of spray and give it a lacquer would it come of on your clothes 

[snoopy72]

There's loads of aeroyal's about, i'd wait for the right colour, dye it all depends on the grade and quality of the plastic

[That Swan Guy]

You can still buy Aeroyals new

I know ya can but its just i got a grubby faded old blue one,so thought maybe dyeing it or spraying it would do,i have other black seats but there all cr@p,am running out of parts lol am going to have to rent myself out :p thats what i get for paying for 2 more holidays,roll on payday

[snoopy72]
