Thanks for all the info.
I am going to try & paint them, I am redoing 3 colors, red,black & yellow. I will post some pics as the project moves. Going to start taking everything out of the boat, this week. Only cost me $220.00 for everything needed to prep,paint & seal. What the hell, Im going to give it a try. If it does not work,, then we go back to plan (a) and send it to XT in Ohio. :drink: Keep you all posted. |
Good luck Jeff! I hope it works out. I'm gonna have XT make mine,too bad we got hit with a blizzard cause I need to make a run to buckeye country.

Paint
With all the bad weather, project is now 2 weeks late. I bought the paint yesterday, cleaner,,paint,sealer.
I am starting to remove the interior, this week-end. Hoping to start them next week. My interior is 3 colors, red,yellow & black. Should be fun. Keep you all posted. Jeff If that doesnt work, I still have enough time to get them redone before the summer season :drink: |
Just dropped off seats at xt-innovations,somehow I know I wont be disappointed, very cool guys!

If the vinyl is drying out, then cracking is just around the corner for the vinyl. Usally faded = dried vinyl.
We just recovered a Rinker interior that someone attempted the vinyl paint. The old vinyl was hard as a rock! XT |

I painted my sun faded/bleachedc vinyl on my Velocity 260. While it looked good for a while, it got kind of sticky when temps got in the 90s... Also the paint began to disappear with the use of cleaners. I used Simple Green as it is pretty mild. It did last me 1 summer season and that is all I wanted, mine is currently being redone. So as long as you are not expecting a brand new interior, vinyl dye/paint will get you through a season as a temporary fix...

I think it depends on where you are using it. I painted the backs of my bolsters which are not in direct sunlight and are never sat in or even really touched. I could see a sunpad being a whole different animal than what I used it for.

Yeah the sunpad was the real problem. But the arm rests on the front bolsters got sticky too. If using on trim and side panels I don't see why vinyl dye wouldn't work permanently. But where your bare skin touches look out!!!

Hey Jeff if you get a minute. Could you tell me your motor setbacks and x dimension on your outside motors? Maybe a few pics?
