    make you a deal. when I've got some free moolah, I'll order in a bunch of cans and you come 'round and help me do mine. all goes well, order some in and I'll help do yours.

    Like you said on MSN ryan the flash's offsetting it, need natural light with no flash 'cause it still looks grey.

    Going to order a can of this when I get back and test on the rear speaker covers.

    Correct, the stuff to be quite frank is pretty shit, it seems to be stiffening the tweed and whether it's reacting with the threads or leaving little flakes on I dunno so I've bought something else that I'm going to try. Stay tuned.

    What about removing the tweed from the seat and soaking it in proper fabric dye.

    I have a tweed set in my ute and as its a black theme i want to blend it better. Either a ebay leatherette set and go with that or dye the tweed. I like the tweed for the purposes im using them for.

    Update

    Well, it's been a while but finally an update. Was surprised to find a box showed up in the post today since we're supposed to be completely flooded in up here. So after work I got to sprraying the seats.
