I hope by paint you mean you dyed them black... i think paint would wear off in time because of how much abuse seats go through with people in and out of them.

I would say from the pictures, they look awesome... i would just be worried about how long they would stay that way.

Wow, I think it looks great, I only question the durability of it, I want my seats black, but I dont have the extra cash for all new seats, this would be a great alternative.

ok ya i figured you didnt realize what color his car was... the seats look great in person, but we will see how long the color holds up.
