Wow, that sure came out nice.� If you get bored you can do my father's old EZGo in Kubota orange.� :-)

BTW, did you have the seats reupholstered, or do you have some magic coloring potion (like paint) (or maybe shoe polish)?

New seat covers are at least $200. No go here. I found some rattle can paint specifically designed for vinyl. It had great reviews online and a couple cans did the trick. I patched the biggest hole with some silicone and then painted 'em. You can still clearly see a lot of the cracks in the seats but that's why it's the "Booze Bomber" and not the "Cognac Cruiser".  Lipstick on a pig. A fun pig, though.

Here's what I used to do the same trick.

It worked great. I've had people ride in the rear seat and the color did not rub off onto their clothes.

Mine was the Rustoleum "2x Ultra Cover". Supposedly binds to vinyl and is flexible. Amazon reviews were good so I gave it a whirl. We'll see how it goes. It certainly can't hurt anything as the seats are pretty rough already.

Ugh I thought I was going to get in a fight when I clicked on this, but it's just a harley golf cart. Argument avoided for now... Triumph all the way!
