      It came out great! Although the purple wasn't bad, very Prince, made me ready to purify myself in the waters of Lake Minetonka.

          if the prep is done right it will last SEM is good stuff


          I have done 6+ seats the same way & the only issue I have had was a superhawk sargent seat it had yellow piping & was dyed all black ... 2 years after I dyed it 1 speck of the yellow shows through.. I blame myself with "bad" prep

                        It bonds with the vinyl... it's permanent, doesn't wear like "paint" or anything. I've yet to see it worn off in any situation where your not damaging the vinyl to start with.

                        I'm showing no signs of wear on my seats...

                        If the seat cover is vinyl, exactly the same...

                            I don't know... that's why I said "if it's vinyl..."...

                            Lets me check Corbin's website...

                            Saddle and backrest come standard with genuine leather seating panels in your choice of colors and styles.
                            Looks like it is leather, and no... this post would be for vinyl. Leather should be dyed with leather dye. There are products to do that with.

                            For example...

                              Thanks for the input bro. I was thinking about painting the pillon seat and/or the piping of the corbing seat to a blue color. Now I know where to start.
