Painted Seats and Armrest finished(PICS0

I think for the price of the paint it looks great! What was it, like a $10 fix till you can get them redone?
Atleast you plan on replacing them, might as well look alittle better in the mean time.

Kaotiq.... I know it makes a Lexus man a lil' squeemish with all this
discussion about painting but in this case when
1) u need to buy time to come up with a permanent fix
2) painting non-essential items to restore stock like luster etc.
is not that bad... In this economy i can see where guys find it
tough to put money into new seats, covers etc. I really don't think
"cheap" is the right word... maybe "thrifty"..lol..

Cheap interior refinishing products like this don't hold up well and are a waste of money, IMHO. As with adhesive dash kits and other "cover up" alternatives, it never looks good beyond about a month or so, is very vulnerable to being scratched, flaking off, heat, cold, you name it. I can't tell you how many riced out cars I've seen in parking lots that have this kind of thing inside and it's scratched all to hell.
Replacement seats (or just new leather coverings) are expensive but they are the way to go in the long run. I'm still saving up money for mine, to be done after I fix the window motor, the trunk struts, and the windshield.

Sorry, to hear that. But overall was it worth it. My seats have some cracks is it doesnt really look to pleasing to the eye, and i dont have the money to reupholster them right now? Where did you get the paint from?
