Default Standard stitching

This topic was being discussed in another C-Class forum and I was wondering, if anyone ever attempted to color the standard white stitching in blue? I have a Laguna blue Z06 and was wondering what color matched better. Also, wondering has anyone ever done anything with the Z06 Logo's on the seats?

Another question, my seat belts are fading would this be covered under warranty or any suggestions on how to correct?

Thanks in advance

There is a $2.49. thread that will answer all the questions about coloring your stitching.

Seatbelts fading is a new one to me.

There have been a few posts here on the forum about owners that colored the stitching on their seats and elsewhere. You can go to a place like Hobby Lobby and buy a product called Stained by Sharpie. It is a fabric ink pen that will color the stitching. I used it on the stitching on my Vette Essentials seats in my '03 C5 and it worked very well.

Dark blue on white stitching does not work as it all appears black... grrrr, would one day like to do somethings myself without paying to have it done.

Sorry to hear it was too dark for you. That's why every commercial item of this type usually says to test the product in an out of the way place to be sure of results. I hope that's what you did.

Here's what I use(d) and it's a perfect match for either Laguna Blue or Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic

(the 550-S is the blue you want)
