Anyone have a link to a specific marker that’s close to rapid blue for doing this? Seen a couple posts about it but not one that gives a recommendation. I don’t want to just blindly pick one if someone else has already figured it out.
@Chan61 do you know which color/brand you used? Are you happy with the match to the exterior, seatbelt, etc?
This is the exact marker I used, Tulip brand permanent fabric marker. It was a perfect match. Everyone thinks the car was re-stiched. I would get about 4-5 markers. They are only a couple dollars a piece and that way you will have extra in case you ever need to touch it up.

Ok thanks anyway. Online, there are two that look pretty close, light blue and Neon Blue. maybe I'll try to find one of each and see which matches better in person.

those two are actually the exact same color. There is also one called fluorescent blue that is the same color. Just make sure it is the permanent fabric marker and not the fabric paint. Good luck
Went to Michael’s (craft store) tonight. Definitely 2 different colors I went with the top 1 (neon blue), because I *think* it’s close to rapid/tension. I’ll report back in a few weeks when I get the car and do the stitching.

Got the car and started on the passenger side floor mat. The neon blue is definitely darker than I expected, and is clearly darker than the rapid and tension blue (not sure how well it will come through in this picture, but putting it up here anyway). Looks more close to ELB. I’m going to run to a craft store today and get the light blue, and see how that looks. Fingers crossed.
