I have a request for all of you because it seems everyone has different ideas and ways of doing worn seats. The next time you do any sort of fatigue for a seat, take an extra picture or two and show how you do it. I'm looking for how you make them sag, show stuffing, tape, foam sticking out, etc, etc. Do you grind it first, panel the bottom, then fill from the inside? I'd like everyone's input please and if you know of any good links to tuts that I just have not seen yet, please punch them in this thread too. Thanks to everyone, this is one that I'd like to do a couple of, but I've never tried it before. Greg. |

They are a bit hard to see in the pics but for my derby car: I warmed the seat over a candle and used my thumb to create "butt dimples" in the seat bottom and small impressions in the seat back then added some bare metal to look like duct tape, and a small coating of dust and dirt. It does give the appearance of well worn/ used but no holes or tears in the seats. Oh yeah watch out the plastic does get hot quick if your to close to the candle. Brad |
