Does anyone have experience using vinyl paint on their boat seats? SEM makes a product and so does Rustoleum. My seats are really weathered and ultimately will need replacing, but I’m hoping I can buy a little time using a vinyl spray paint. The testimonial videos on YouTube are pretty impressive.

I've used it on multiple car seats throughout the years. Looks great. It will wear off though depending on use. Like with most paints, preparation is the key.

Re: Vinyl paint
Used it on a jet ski I had to reapply during the season. If it's done professionally It will last. See what Dr Vinyl will charge.

Re: Vinyl paint
I used it on my old Glastron and it looked great, but only lasted about two seasons before needing to be redone. Prep is key, follow the directions to a T and it will hold up.

Re: Vinyl paint
I have about 10 cans plus the prep spray from SEM that I would be willing to sell very cheap. Color is a medium tan/beige. I bought them for my boat and then decided to reupholster. I used a tiny bit from one can to test and it looked awesome. Retail was about $125. Would sell for $65 and you pay shipping.

Hey Shawn,
I think I sent a PM to you, but not sure if it went through or not. Can you let me know the color of your vinyl paint? Send me a photo or the name? Thanks.

Re: Vinyl paint
Terry,
I'm sorry for the delayed response. I went on a 9 day trip and got side tracked when I returned. I just saw this. If you are still interested I can have the info to you ASAP. Let me know
