I tried down low on the seat (3lt) and got a bad feeling about what could happen on some of the hard to reach areas. IMO it would look great if everything went smoothly.

I have to go along with Starman's request. Has anyone used the blue on a grey interior? Would love to see pictures of the same.

Some of it seems to be what color you are looking to do it in. I definitely see different opinions on the yellow. The other colors seems to be less divided.

BTW Red pigment has the greatest chance for fading in UV light of any color.
Because it has the least amount of actual pigment in it.

Test in an area at the rear of the seat that is hard to see first to make sure it will wipe off to your satisfaction...
With temps getting warmer, it could be drying too fast before people are wiping it off.

For those wondering which Zig Fabricolor Twin yellow I used, after trying both, I found that I liked the "yellow" better than the "florescent yellow." Here's a pic of how it turned out in my car...

Default Think Chevy Gave Jamajajaran some kind of bonus or perks for his idea?

I notice you can order a stingray now with colored stitching. I think there is a good chance they got the idea from Jamajajaran and this board. I know I did. IF they did get the idea, from him I think they should give him some $$$ or some kind of perk for doing so. Like maybe a carbon fiber top or something.

Looks great! Did the steering wheel come with the black stitching on the yellow leather, or did you color it while you were doing the rest of the car?

They had the ability to order colored stitching on C6's.


Camaro guys have been doing this for a while, its not a new idea.

They get good ideas from Corvette owners quite often. I'm glad what I did helped you in positive way.

C6's had nowhere this much stitching....with this much stitching being so pervasive in the interior of this vehicle coloring should have been an option GM dropped the ball on this one. on my c6 I just had my seats reupholstered with yellow seat pads and yellow stitching one the seats, I also had the word Corvette embroidered in yellow in headrest came out awesome was round eight hundred
