I didn't use the Painters marker when I did the red. I started out using a FabricMate dye marker from The Hobby Lobby.
I was going back and forth about wether to do red or blue and when I saw the maroon color on the seats I just decided that blue would look better.
I really only did about 18 inches of stitching on the passenger seat when I made the decision to switch. Honestly I think I got lucky that it covered the red. It wouldve looked like crap if it didn't.

If you want the maroon color then use the red fabric dye marker and not the acrylic paint pen.

So you think it would look red using the Painters Marker, which is acrylic paint, right..??

I'm actually going for the red look.. I don't want maroon..

Also, did you use the fine tip or the medium tip..??

Yes, the Painters marker should give you a nice red color.
I used the medium tip but now that I think about it, the fine tip might be less messy.
