Here's a thread about how I painted my seats.
I used the Duplicolor Vinyl/Fabric paint.
This stuff works pretty good. I've used it once before and was pleased.
At first the seats are pretty stiff and rough, but once you start breaking them in it all smooths out.
Your truck will smell like spray paint for about a week but it eventually goes away lol.
--Make sure you vacuum your seats really well.
--Mask off anything you DONT want painted.
--In order to get the color thats ACTUALLY on the cap, you're going to need to paint the seats WHITE first.
I tested a small area w/o white and it came out a navy blue instead of being bright blue.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVEN COVERAGE. If you don't you will see it right through the blue.
Its helpful to do many light coats instead of one big heavy coat.
--To get the rear upper seat out you need to pop out the black tabs on the back of the seat. Plan on buying new tabs cuz those are almost impossible to remove w/o breaking them.
Once you have that flap down there are two bolts on each side holding the seat to brackets.
--Wait a few minutes until the white paint become tacky, then do the same process with the blue paint, several light coats for even coverage.
This stuff dries pretty quick. Give it about 10 minutes, check for any touch ups needed, then remove your tape!
The finished product =]
