	Has anyone had any experience of recolouring velour seats, ie what products and techniques, I'm not looking to change the colour just refresh the original as it's a bit sun bleached. Thanks Graham.

	Ive been thinking about doing something similar, my first thought was to buy some dylon dye and mix it in a bucket and spray my back seat using a paint gun and compressor then leave to dry Sent from my GT-I9505 using proboards

	It may be correct that it cannot be dyed, however, if the fabric can absorb water then it MAY be possible to dye it? I was considering trying this stuff some time back to refresh a cars interior. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Simply-Spray-Fabric-UPHOLSTERY-Paint-BURNT-ORANGE-LARGE-8OZ-226G-/191187728246?pt=UK_Crafts_DrawingSupplies_EH&hash=item2c83ad3776 Whether they do a colour that you are looking for is another matter though. edit: Blimey, it can be done but it looks like a complete ball ache. dyes-pigments.standardcon.com/dyes-synthetic-fibers.html
