Can seat belts be dyed a different color without making them stiff.

Brian

I also am considering dying some seat belts and I am just wondering what the best method would be? I wouldn't think it would make the belts stiff if you used the proper media. Clothing doesn't get stiff.

Anyone ever dyed seat belts before and can help out?

Add me to the list of those who want to know how to do this!!

I dyed my rear belts from black to black (they were faded).

Got a pot of boiling water going, dumped in the Rit, and followed directions. Hung the belts in the pot with a coat hanger so the buckles wouldn't get immersed.

Be sure to rinse them real thoroughly, otherwise the dye will run if they get wet again (or over a woman's dress!).

I could see dyeing from a lighter color to a darker color, but I don't know how dyeing from a darker to a lighter would work out.

what is rit?

Rit is the brand name of the dye. Wal-Mart has it.

Thanks . I will let you know how the rit works . Or if anyone wants to trade black 74 belts for my mint lt. blue belts ..
