To dye mine I got a quart of color match paint from Sherwin Williams and just brushed it on. The drawbacks were they came out stiff and the paint keeps wearing off the buckles.

I like your presentation but it sounds like the results might be the same?

genius...

I've been concerned about belts for my car as I seem to only be able to find the front ones.

I've located a TON of back belts but they're usually red, gold, green... never black which I need and the new black ones sell for stupidly high prices.

Thanks!

Stupid high is right! I paid $215 bucks for a PAIR of belts for the front of this 64 1/2 mustang....

Heh yeah I hear you on that. I *thought* I found a good deal on a set from one of those Dearborn like places that sells OEM equipment.

$75.00 but it turns out that it was seriously 1/2 of 1 seat belt. You had to buy the buckle side and the clip side. Given that price it would have been around $600.00 to replace all the belts in the car.

I'll go without before I'd spend that $$$ on seat belts. Not like I'm going to live through an accident in my car anyhow. :P

Dupli - Color makes a spray on dye for interior, seatbelts, seats, etc. and it won't harden on you. You have to clean them well, and they'll come out like new, Mike.

I know this thread is a million years old, but the advice sounds like something I could use on my current build today. Will look into the product.

BTW, I used a can of fabric & vinyl paint from the auto parts store to paint my sons dirtbike seat and it turned out to be really durable. That product may work for those working with seatbelts. The stuff is certainly flexable on the vinyl seat.

Thanks,
