Seat Back Embroidery -Fading

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

If you go to a fabric store or Walmart they have some stuff in a tube that has a ball point tip. what you do is squeeze the tube and color in the faded part, it is thick so it won't run.

has anyone tried this? sounds like a good idea

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

I did it on a baja and it looked good. THe ball point helps keep the lines nice and neat.

Also it wont run when it gets wet, just let it dry for 24hrs.

Might have to try this on ours. The 47 stitching on the seats is starting to fade. What is the name of the product ???

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

Just go pick up a few colors and try it on a old shirt or something let it dry good and wash it put it in the sun and see what you think. :drink:

I would be concerned that the dye would keep "seeping outward" after a few months in the heat. Has anyone used a specific product, on white interior, and can verify its long term success?

It's not a dye, it's like a paint. it's only 3-4 bucks a tube just go get some and try on on d shirt .

I picked up a red fabric felt tip marker @ walmart today- I'll post a before & after pick - unreal you cannot tell - seat back looks brand spank'in new again. next to the magic easer it's the best product i've used in a while.

My mom found the stuff when I was in the Boy Scouts, we used it to make Troop flags. we washed them every few trips and the never faded. One day I was cleaning my old Baja and tried it on the seats and years after I sold it I saw it on the river and it still looked good.

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

Is it a felt tip marker or paint? No one has said the name of the product yet.

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

Felt tip marker, product called Fabric Fun - available @ Wal-Mart :cool: just take your time & color the threads

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

Thank you. Will will have to try this.

Re: Seat Back Embroidery -Fading
 

It is funny this thread came up I was wondering last weekend how to keep the threads on my head rest to keep from pulling out. The one you painted lookes good. I thought I would try finger nail clear on the threads to keep them from pulling. anyone else having the threads pulling out?
