I just finished freshening the interior on my 1964 Sprite. Here are before and after photos. I did the work myself. Not bad for the first time.

Did you spray dye the seats or are they new covers? The darker colors are much better. Looks nice.
 
Thanks. I sprayed the seats to match the rest of the interior. They were in good condition except for the color. It will do until I pull the trigger on new seat covers.
 
Very nice work!
 
Very nice! New color suits the interior much better. IMO
:cheers:
 
Thanks. I may have gotten the seats mixed up when I put them back in. Do the seat adjuster handles go to the inside or outside? They were a pain to put back in with new carpets. I hope I got them right. I don't want to do it again.
 
Oh so much better, that shade of Blue hurt my eyes.
 
Is any company making seat dye that matches the Healey colors. my 65 MKIII has the blue interior with grey piping, which I thing is a hold over from the MKII series.

Take a look at your local paint supplier. SEM makes many different shades of blue in the their vinyl dye spraycans.
 
I used the navy blue ColorBond spray from Victoria British on my seats. I used about 3 cans to do both seats.
