Default Interior Redone in Two Tone

Have been wanting to do this for years but was cost prohibitive to do reupholstering of seats ........untill...........I learned about elastomeric leather Dying. Ahhhh yeah. No cracking or peeling with time.The car had the original Camaro seats replaced with WS6 Ebony seats (original Camaro seats hurt my back). Color is a VERY close match to exterior color of car.
Check this out and let me know what you think:

The seats are prepped than sprayed with the elastomeric paint/dye. I had a professional do this for me and charged me $200 bucks for seats and panel work. He did a great jo. He has done some Cobras, Eclipses, Shelby 500, and other vehicles in my home town that look awesome.

The seats look great. I just don't like the three colors you have now...get rid of the beige. I've always loved two tone, and especially black or grey with a deep red...the 40th anniversary GP's, the Graphite/Brick tahoes...love them all. Only problem is that I don't think it looks good with the beige in there.

I dunno, I really like the contrast between the carpet and the rest of the interior. It has a good balance of accents and looks very classy to me for some reason. One thing I would do though is get black seat belt guides for the seats.

Not really diggin the tri-tone. Like some others have said, make the beige black or dark grey and it would look killer.

Thought about it a bit but then decided against it. Thought it would be too much. Just wanted to accent which is why the area on the panel was done. I will be changing out the seatbelt guides to black ones. I am now doing the interior in stages so the carpet will remain as is for now. I have gotten the same response from people here....some really like it and others say to stay with 2 colors. I spoke with a friend who is a decorator and she said that accenting really is the way to go and the baige is neutral enough to pull it off with he other two colors. I also sure there may be another decorator who would say "what the hell were you thinking!". Oh well...... I like the tricolor theme.

It reminds me of a cadillac interior. Looks very luxurious and high class.
But it seems to kill the sporty race car look though.
Otherwise, I like it.

How durable is that stuff? I like it, but I think I'm with everyone else in saying switch the carpet, red and tan do not match IMHO.

Maybe if you got rid of the tan it would look real nice. All in all not bad.

How is the dye holding up? and how much/where did you get the dye from?
