Seat repair

I am curious how to fix minor cuts in a seat and if anybody has ever tried to repaint the letters (SKI-DOO) on the seat. The factory paint is wearing off of the seat like they all do, but I would like to try to restore it.

Check eBay for replacement factory seat covers! The painting may not stay for long, but it's worth a try!

Thanks, I'll check e-bay but I will probably try to fix the seat I have just to see if it works.

That will probably work; if not I am sure a FAQ section of some site you could find on google might help

I have used one of those vinyl repair kits with surprisingly good results. It was on a section that didn't get sat on though. It has held up for two seasons so far. The key is to get the stuff heated properly so it melts into the existing material.
