I have looked through the forums and (unless I'm blind) I have not seen anything on this subject yet. I am thinking about going over the red stitching and making it a blue color to match my interior lights and such. Has anyone tried this? If so, any tips so I don't destroy my leather or make it look like crap.
I have done some research and I found a thread where people were trying it on Camaros and 350Zs. However, it looks like they started from a white/silverish base color and I'm not sure how the red stitching will effect the blue dye. Maybe I should go for a white dye first, then go blue? I don't know. What do you guys think?

I just finished my passenger side door panel and I think it came out great! Check it out.
Half way from Red to White.
All White.
Adding the blue!
Final product!!!
This door panel took me about 2 hours to do. It definitely took a lot of time, patience and VERY fine brush. Overall, the colors seeped into the threat instead of just covering it up (Mostly because I watered it down). I think it's safe to say you could do this in any color you want. Also, just an added tip, the Black fabric is pretty forgiving. I got some of the paint on it a couple times and it just wipes off with your finger nail as long as you're quick. Tell me what you guys think!
