I got these cloth faced seats from a '90 Miata. In really great shape but were faded. Used Duplicolor flat black only on the cloth portion - the vinyl cleans up great. I was hesitant but knew they would look better so I took the plunge. Hard to tell from the photo but the one seat I've done turned out great. Fumes were horrible so I had to do it outside, and then it got real cold fast so I'll have to wait until it warms up a little to do the other. I have a Miata so I knew how comfortable these seats are and they fit perfectly in my E.

Yes, fabric paint. Funny thing was, I was just looking for a set to recover, but these appeared - $100 for the pair so I grabbed them. Then i realized they would be perfect just as they are, only with a little freshening.
