Default Dying my stitching orange

UPDATE: Project finished this week end.....

Added a couple of shots of the driver's side as well.





Well... I did this on my old yellow C7 and loved it so I took plunge and started dying my Stitching orange to on my C8. It is taking me a little longer than I remember my C7 taking but I'm very happy with the results so far. I'll finish the rest next weekend.

Thanks
Gary

I ordered two markers and think I can get the whole thing done butt will probably order a third.

Looks great.

Is something like this "permanent" or does it require periodic upkeep?
