Seriously considering trying this project, thanks
so i've had the paint only on my door panels, other than your arm touching there there's not really any wear and tear so just keep that in mind, this might not apply the same way to a seating surface or even the middle armrest which would see much more
that being said, paint has held up excellent, no fading at all, no peeling, still feels nice and texture is about the same as i can remember when i put them on. i've pretty much had them for like a year now you could say, through nyc weather, i park my car in the sun alot at work so car gets hot and inside gets 100+ degrees, held up great. no complaints at all about the paint.
i'll be doing the headrests soon and will update the thread, but i expect them to hold up just as well. the only reason i havent done the seats is because 1) its hard to take it all out and spray it, 2) i dont have the sports seats so i dont have the same lines to follow and turn red, and 3) i didnt wanna loose the soft leather feel because after you paint it, it's a bit more 'plastic' feeling and more like a leatherette vinyl feel.
