Re: need to dye some seat belts
Dupont Vynle dye. This stuff is great. I used it on a dirt bike seat to see how tough it really is and let me tell you it is tough. Since then I have used it on many different interior parts. I switched to Sikken a few years ago and have been using Sikkens water borne with a modifier agent that is meant for under hood colors. That is what is in my truck right now. It looks good but I haven't used it to much yet to tell you how it lasts. If you are interested check it out at automotive sales (paint supply store) in Courtney. The guy that works there is Eldon. If you need any more info PM me.

Re: need to dye some seat belts
You won't have any success dying belts and if you do, throw the belts away because they are no good! Seat belts are made from materials that are not easily affected by things such as dyes because if they were they would degrade and fail. Most belts are made from materials that are not dyed, the material they use to weave the belts has the color in it. Hawkrod

Re: need to dye some seat belts
i ain't chuckin em,took me too long to find the suckers in the first place,there's nothing wrong with em (except the brilliant blue finish),and i don't want to waste $$ on getting a new set if i can make em do what i want
i'd rather spend the $ and time sorting out the real issues my truck has
