[gtown805]

i got a identical dual axel trailer to mine but 3 years newer with newer tires and rims,rollers and a recent 600$ put into it brakes and all. engine cover and boat cover and even new seats that are all designed for my boat for $500 the only thing is, is mine is blue and light blue and this new engine cover and seats are light brown and doo doo brown so i am wondering is there somthing i can use that wont rub off on peoples bum when they sit on the seats or lean against them somthing that will adhere pretty good. the seats are made of that vinyl material that most boats use please let me know if u got some ideas thanks

I would call up the local (to you) upholstery shop an see what they say. I have not heard of anything that works on vinyl. I know Plasi-Coat works great on hard plastic parts like dash boards, center consoles but on something like vinyl I don't have a clue.

Call adams upholstery in Santa Maria. He has done work for me and knows his stuff.

There are vinyl paints out there that work real well. I've used them many times in days gone by, having owned a marine upholstery shop.

I used a product called "Special T", but I don't think they're around anymore.
There must be stuff out there that is equal to it.
The key to painting vinyl is the preparation. It's just like painting a car, but more critical.

The surface must be cleaned with toluene, and the surface should be ever so slightly tacky to the touch.
Spray it on as you would any paint, and make sure you add the proper additives for humidity, temps etc.
I've had vinyl paint last for years.
Good luck.
