Red (or any color you want...) stitching

This is a cool idea!

I picked up some orange pens today. I have a set of take off leather on its way so I was thinking of doing the stitching before I install the new leather..the car is megnatic and I figured the subtle orange might break up the black and magnetic theme going on..any opinions?

I really want to do this but I'm worried about bleed-off as some people have reported. I can only imagine its down to what brand paint pen you used but that's still quite the risk to take.

I used the fabric mate pen and had no issue. I wouldn't try the stitching on the steering wheel since you might sweat that off.

Regardless of paint pen or color used, I would test it on a small spot that isn't very visible before going all in.

Like the leather worker said, it will cause damage to the leather on a molecular level. Whether it will matter for the overall life of the car is not something I can comment on however.

if it's dyed, wouldn't it be kinda sweat proof?

The question would be for anyone who has one of those pens to read the pen or package and see if it says anything about removal.

Spoiler alert: This is how Ford actually did the red stitching!

Not since the Dagenham strike.

I actually would advise not doing this. I did t for the gt350 wheel in blue and 2 weeks in its still not dry and bleed like a mot&#&#^. If you grab it youll have blue hands. I even spent 2 -3 hours wiping one section of the stitching with a wet towel and I swear to god it keep staining on the towel and never ends. I have literally thrown the gt350 wheel on the side because I cant use it anymore. Wasted $400.

What brand fabric marker did you use? I did my GT350 Steering Wheel in December and have not had ANY blue ink end up on my hands, even when they get a little sweaty.

This is where I bought my markers from. 2 pcs shipped for just over $10. Very nice mod if you ask me. I did my stitching in yellow, looks awesome!

For those of you that have had this done for a long time. Does the color fade with time?

reading this has me thinking now... the red will help big time, I'm not a fan of the white stitching

I wanted to do red on my cloth recaros, im glad it isnt noticeable on the black cloth when you dyed the stitching
