Just did this to my seats yesterday (painted them Charcoal Gray). You'll need 3 cans. It turned out great the only problem for now is my car smells like paint lol. Ill be posting pictures soon.

They work for me!

They look nice! The OEM blue Recaro's in EVO's are hideous, almost as bad as an STi....almost.

Any crustiness to the seats Scott? I may have to try these next time I run into you, I'm curious how they feel.

Any ruboff on clothing? I wear white shirts for work, would hate to have black paint all over those.

They were a bit once painted, but the next day I used a hard metal brush on them to soften them up, after that they felt stock.

Not from what I can tell. I usually don't where white though and it's not my daily driver anymore.
