Katzkins Leather installed
Installed my Katzkins leather seats on the weekend they came out perfectly anyone wanting to do this I am only 21 years old and accomplished it with no problems as all. The install went flawless and was easy as pie.

Another note how I painted the seat base plastic with KRYLON plastic paint with no problems at all.

Nice Job---Did you use anything to clean the plastic B4 painting? Be interesting to see how long the Krylon stuff lasts.
The nice thing about it is that if it does fail, just shake rattle and spray again. Magnum |
Re:Katzkins Leather installed
Magnum just a wipe down with normal paint thinner is the only prep its guaranteed for 7 years not flaking or chipping or cracking.

Jamie-
That wasn't supposed to be a trick question, just that I teach auto-body for a living. On Plastic parts, the use of some paint thinners is a gamble in that you might "melt" the plastic. Usually, painting plastic involves the use of an "adhesion promoter" In the future, I would recommend you: #1 Clean the part with HOT soapy water #2 Reclean with a plastic prep cleaner(rubbing alcohol will do in a pinch) #3 Scuff (scotchbrite pad) the plastic Repeat steps 1 &2 #4 Paint I've never seen this "Krylon plastic" paint. Maybe it already has some kind of an adhesion promoter built in. PS If it ever does start to flake off, try the above steps. Sorry about that---Magnum |
Re:Katzkins Leather installed
Dude, Man your crackin me up here. I installed leather seats in my truck last winter. So far so good. I did not find the Katskin brand though so I used the factory Dodge leather seats. They are very expensive and although it was nor hard to install it was a very long wrestling match with my patience.

Re:Katzkins Leather installed
Jamie, Looks like you are running out ot things to do to that truck... [laugh] can I suggest maybe some screens in the back of the seats and maybe paint the facia krylon blue.

Sorry about that---Magnum [/quote] Im not upset or anything but the Krylon paint is supposed to be prep free thats the point of the paint. Its strictly meant for plastic to be zero prep just use regular paint thinner I used canadian tire then just wiped with a rag and painted. I hope is stays and I appreciate the advice I just followed the directions and it turned out awesome it also remains very flexable. When I painted my scotty 2 I had to flex it to get it into place (don't ask) and it didn't chip or anything it just flexed like normal and the paint stayed. This stuff really seems to be great stuff. |

I am contemplating painting the door panels and the dash with this blue stuff feedback please! |
Re:Katzkins Leather installed
Obviously VOIDing the Scotty warranty will not mean much so you might as well KRYLON the rest of the interior. [laugh]
Are you wearing a mask while painting? I am thinking perhaps not. :o [eyecrazy] 8) [quote author=Jamie link=board=7;threadid=23495;start=0#msg220802 date=1070987436] Jamie, Looks like you are running out ot things to do to that truck... can I suggest maybe some screens in the back of the seats and maybe paint the facia krylon blue.
