Seat Belt Rerbishment

[money pit]

My seat belts are pretty sun faded. Is it possible to clean and dye the seat belts? Thanks

Somewhat depends on the color but generally yes.

The seat belts are supposed to be black but they are light grey. Do you know what they of product I would use to restore the color? Thanks

Fabric dye, go to Walmart.

Google Rit Dye. I used the “all purpose” version years ago with good results. They have a dye for “synthetic” fabrics now that may even work better. Craft stores like Michael’s also carry that kind of thing.

John rimmel can restore them to new, that is the best bet if you have the money, he did my burnt orange set for my challenger

My belts were very faded/dirty. I boiled them with several water changes, until the water was clean. Then I "fogged" them with black spray dye and wiped the excess off which allowed the pressure to "push" the die into the fabric and also preventing the stiffness that comes with spray dye. The results are original looking FANTASTIC. I am so happy with the results. You can see the before and after in the picture.
