How To - Change colour of gear gator stitching

[Cameron UK]

I thought i would show you howto change the color of the stitching
I used a bright red pen, when its got a shadow on it, it looks maroon, when the sun is shining it looks bright red.

Colors that would work great:

Red.
Yellow.
Black.
Light blue.
Bright green.
Orange.

You will need:
Red Sharpie.
Patience.

All you need to do is to use the sharpie as a brush rather than a pen and paint each individual stitch separately.
also i dot the pen in the needle hole between each stitch to make sure you dont miss any.

Have seen this in white which I want just don't know how to fit.

the cheapest and easy option is the fabric dylon marker you get real good results
it lasts a real long time
works real good on things like the gators but not recommended
on hard wearing areas like the steering wheel or seat bolsters

It probably takes 5-10 mins, well worth saving £20 and the hassle of fitting a new one IMHO :P

Anyone got a link to a good pen that can be used to colour the heat gator stitching white?

Thanks

Looks good but mine seams are black and i think that the result won't be so good...

Would this pen be okay for colouring the stiching white?

[tucpal]

You need a dylon fabric marker pen

[sheppy1]

Hmm there doesn't seem to be any dylon ones in white, just the one I posted above

[tucpal]

You can not dye the stitching white

[tucpal]

Just buy an after market or origami cover or gear nob

[sheppy1]

Will add it to the list haha. They're only £20 which ain't bad
