Fabric paint, does it work?

I've seen a lot of questions floating around about fabric paint. Being that I am trying to save my money to spend on the mechanical bits of my Mustang and the seats are door panels are in overall good shape except for some fading, I decided I would try it for myself.

The results are actually pretty decent. I used about three coats on each piece after a good thorough cleaning. I was pretty pleased with the way they turned out. It took around two cans to do one door panel and one seat. The paint runs about $6 a can and I got it at the local auto parts store.

You are supposed to allow 72 hours to dry properly but I must say that it was dry to the touch ten minutes or so after I painted them. It was a little rough but it's supposed to soften up after some time passes. Even ten minutes later no color came off when I rubbed my hand across it.

Unfortunately the passenger side door panel and seat are being more stubborn to remove. The bolts on the seat aren't going to come off easy and I'll have to work on it another day. More to come!
