The thought had came to mind there at the weekend that it may be possible to dye your seats Black by removing the covers and bunging them into the washing machine with one of the dyes that you can get?

Now obviouisly the covers would need to stand up to the washing machine but id imagine they would as they're made to last well over 100K miles.

A set of all black Fabia seats could look rather fetching I think

Something like this:

If I could get my hands on a set or even just one cover for cheap i'd give this a go!

Seats are treated with an anti stain formula, so dye might not exactly be colour fast. OK if you only wear black clothes, but other colours will look like you arrived on a horse.

I know some people have managed to dye seats using certain vinyl-based paints worked in with a brush to attempt to combat the potential crusty effect that can happen...

Those seats were blue once.

You might be better suited with:

Simply Spray fabric paint

Someone on here done their vrs seats black

Autoglym advised against people using their dye on seats since it might rub off on clothes...

So has the car actually exploded in the background?

Guessing you mean Dylon? The same goes for dyed clothes onto light seats. If you boil wash them after dying two or three times that would hopefully prevent loss of dye onto clothes - but no idea what condition the seat covers would be left in?! Also have to remember that dye does not take to synthetic materials like Polyester. For example, if you dye cotton clothes black, often the stitching holding the bits together will remain the same colour as the thread is Polyester.
