> Anyway, while taking off the old covers, I immediately noticed

> some sort of vinyl spray paint in an attempt to "mask" some of
> the defects.

> What a mistake! It may look better on the surface, but the concept

> Bad idea!

> I also noticed that the original interior colour had been altered
> from biscuit to black. Another terrible idea. Now I am stuck with
> having to replace the door panels (which have also been painted)
> and those other, smaller panels.
>
> I wonder, does the previous owner also sweep dirt under the carpet.

> Hope he isn't reading this, 'cause I really like him.

> By the way, putting on new seat vinyl was a snap! Less then 2 hours
> per seat... and that's with my 4 year old son helping out. Very easy.
