Has anyone tried to dye seat belts if so what did you use and how did it turn out. Thinking about buying some gray ones and need to change the color to oxblood (maroon). Thanks

Just take another [oxblood] interior part in to a pro auto paint supply store and tell them you want some SEM vinyl dye to match. No big deal. Belt webbing is nylon and will take vinyl dye just fine. Some on the Forum will tell you to use RIT fabric dye....and some claim that it has worked for them. I wouldn't go that route just to save a few bucks.

I just died a set of black shoulder belts to blue, came out great i use the sem dye pick it up from a Shermin Williams auto paint house. You will need to spray a couple coats. Wait a while in between coats since it's not a opaque dye. Good luck
