I'm not a rich guy and always have to use what I have. I got good results with a spray can. This will get me by until I can afford new upper door panels and reproduction seat covers. This actually turned out way better than I thought. Even better in person. I did three videos

Not bad. I think SEM Products actually has a aerosol they claim can be used both on solid surfaces as well as upholstery.
Yes they do. Have used SEM products for years. I used metallic paint to replicate the shimmer of original cloth.

Have you looked into PPG's One Choice (formerly Specialty Performance Products) for recoloring? I know there is the budget but that line can be used on cloth for refresh/recolor.

Do you know if they do the 83/84 blue? SEM discontinued what they called regal blue so I am not finding what everyone said matched perfectly, SEM claims 5096 is the replacement but I have not seen that used yet.
