Vinyl Paint

Post by Grumpy21 »

wondering if anyone has painted their vinyl seats, if so what did you use?

I did about 20 years ago with very good results but cant remember what I used. I've found a company selling a product called Vinylkote but it works out at nearly £100 per litre with colour matching and delivery!

thanks

I've used Vinylkote too a long time ago and was impressed.
There's this site

I've not used it but might work out cheaper.

Could I suggest you contact this eBay supplier.
They mixed a colour match from a piece of vinyl from under the seat 15mm square and the match once dry is perfect. They are very helpful

I highly recommend Woolies in Peterborough. https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk and https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-118-vinyl-renovation. They will colour match non-faded samples.

Morning, thanks for reviving the thread

I’ve checked both Woolies and Vinylkote and both work out at around £100 for everything needed. Woolies only supply aerosols but Vinylkote supply a litre of paint/dye. Adding the matching fee, cleaner and pre paint, plus delivery both end up and around £100

Also both have to be applied at 20 degrees plus so I have a little time yet before I can attempt the job. Neither company suggest storage times for their products. Woolies think 4 aerosols should be sufficient although if I need a fifth part way through that would cost an additional £30 delivered. Vinylkote suggest that a litre is easily sufficient for the entire interior including all the door and side cards which don’t need doing.

Jury is still out…

Seemingly they will only provide this service if you purchase 4 x spray cans at £29.50 each. £29.50 seems a high price for a spray can of paint :o ?

They are contracting the colour matching and paint production out to another company, I believe, hence the cost and they'll usually only sell you a minimum of four cans.
