painting vinyl seats

P I Pete · Jan 30, 2017

I have a golf cart I use at tractor shows and swap meets that I put a rear seat on. The rear seat was taken from a old school bus and it is like a pebble finish forest green color vinyl. I want to paint it a off white to match cart seat with rattle can, what would be a good paint that would stick to it and still be flexible?

Thanks all, Pete

It is a three step process. 1. clean very well. 2. clean some more and prep with S.E.M. leather & vinyl prep. paint with a paint intended for vinyl and leather that stays flexible.

See your auto body supply guy and get everything showcrop posted SEM cleaner ,prep and SEM vinyl paint. Years ago you could only get 59 T-Bird dash boards in neutral color and I used SEM to paint mine red factory color and the SEM paint was great. Can not even tell it was refinished at all and looks like red vinyl.

Dupli-color makes a vinyl and fabric paint which works good. Several years ago the tan seats on my jeep got to looking a little green so I sprayed them with the paint and it's still holding up.

Go online and type in school bus parts. There are several companies (SBC comes to mind), but they all have spray dye/paint for that ripstop vinyl. There are lots of color options and they wear like iron. I used many different colors on my bus seats.
