You can get new covers, many in two tone.
I've seen tan, red, black and red & yellow in stock C5's.

You can dye them about any color you want. Get a good quality vinyl dye (i.e., SEM, etc.) and follow the directions for use. If you don't have spray equipment, buy the bottle/aerosol system sold at a car paint supply place; they work very well for vinyl dye. You can do a lot of pieces with a pint of SEM dye. Good luck!

Clean them extremely well before you shoot the dye. Corvette leather seats have a protective clear coat on them which you will need to remove before shooting your new color.

Exactly, which is why I was looking at C5 seats (everything is black.)
> Corvette seats have a clear protective coating...
I presume the paint supply places have stuff to take that off ?
What about C4 seats? do these have the protective coating?
Thx.
