Stitch dye? Anyone brave enough to try?

Let me know!

you should do yellow on a black cherry z. as long as you have leather of course.

Lemers · 02-13-2011, 05:11 PM

As nice as your color scheme is gold or yellow isn't highlight color of my choice.

wheee! · 02-13-2011, 05:59 PM

I second that. ^^

Still looking for a burgundy...

Falcor · 02-13-2011, 11:13 PM

I hear ya. but burgundy isn't much of a "highlighting". to me seems like it would be hardly noticeable, if subtlety is what your going for then that will look great. I was trying to think of a color that would *pop* but wouldn't clash with the cars color.

Well the purple 'pops' but it is too pink for a match. I like subtle. I am also painting the inside drums of the sport wheels to match the body colour. Very subtle....

lol. My garage queen is waiting for warm weather before she shows herself. And I need the warmer weather to do the wheel mods. Stitch mod will happen as soon as I find the right colour.

Finally!

Michael's has the MARVY UCHIDA pens for fabric dyeing. Colour # 132, Alizarin Crimson is the closest I have seen to Black Rose yet. It has a brush tip and goes on very accurately.

The stitches are hard to photograph in the garage with flash, but the colour is just right for our Black Rose/Cherry cars.

The bright purple and red attempts on the right were just too far off. This one will be perfect IMO...

Rep points if you are doing this mod to your Black Rose/Cherry/Bordeaux car!

Sibze · 02-22-2011, 06:30 PM

Are you going to do it?

wheee! · 02-22-2011, 06:38 PM

Yup. When it warms up enough to get out there and survive!...

Sibze · 02-22-2011, 06:43 PM

Haha. Nice!

wheee! · 02-28-2011, 03:52 PM

I did it! All done, yay!

I warmed up the garage as best I could and did the stitching today. Colour is awesome and matches the Black Rose/Cherry/Bordeaux perfect.

Leather seats:

Alcantra door inserts:

Console and shifter:

I know the flash makes the colours wash out a bit, but it is the best I can do in these temps!!! Still - 30C here!!

Did the Z logo in the hatch mat too!
