   lets face it, the squares and triangles design on the VTR interior is pretty poor.
   
   would it be possible to dye the seats all black?
   if so, would this rub off onto your clothes?
   
   thanks.

   i wouldnlt have thought whatever dye u use would completely cover the squares think you;'d still see them faintly. and would prob need to be left to dry for a really long time and would prob wipe off a lill each time till the colour has settled

   I'd say its not a good idea. Just get the seats re-trimmed.
