Apologies to Shakespeare for the paraphrase. As you can see in the pic below, I changed all of the interior in my 69 from white to black - except the seats. After seeing another post here where leather seats were dyed red using product from leathermagic.com, I decided to give it a try and make the seats black like the rest of the interior.

I checked out their web site, then called them. Very helpful, honest about how to get good results and how easy it is to screw up. I ordered a kit plus a little extra prep and dye to do all seats. Still less that $100.

Well, I received the kit today. When the wife asked what was in today's UPS delivery (she can be a little sarcastic), I told her my plans. Now she says that she likes the white seats in a black interior! I think an all black interior will look more bad-a$$, less granny.

What do you guys think? Keep the wife happy and leave them white, or dye them black?

I know it is my decision, just curious what other Cougar guys like. Thanks.

I say leave the seats white. They look like they are in great shape. The wife likes them white, so keeping a woman happy when it comes to a shared classic car hobby goes a lot farther than anything else. Looks like your car still has a white top so it kinda still makes sense and still looks intentional. Kinda breaks it up, instead of white top and all white interior on a dark body. Summertime driving will be much easier on the skin with white!

p.s. I'm doing my 69 cougar in white with aqua appointments, and a white top. I love the light interiors.

to clarify, I'm doing my car in white INTERIOR with aqua appointments... dark aqua metallic paint on the body...

Depends, if the car is black leave them white. It makes them stand out.
