yeah.....I bought most of the material to do it myself....I'd like to feel like I actually did something to my truck on my own lol

but I'm scared as shit to get runs lol

Do the proper prep work and take your time when spraying. I did mine myself and I think they turned out great.

First of all, and most importantly imo, gotta get the surface nice and clean to prevent any imperfections and remove any dirt and oils. My first one I didn't clean well and got wrinkling. I also did mine with adhesion promoter, duplicolor body color and clear coat. I washed my vents with simple green then wiped them down with denatured alcohol. Then lightly sanded with fine grit(600-800) sand paper and washed again. Applied a couple light coats of promoter and did 3 or 4 LIGHT coats of body color and then 2 or 3 coats of clear. Make sure to let proper dry time between steps. You can also wet sand in between coats but I didn't have days. This is just the way I did it and only a suggestion. If you ask 5 people how to, you'd probably get 5 different processes.

IICR, NoPh33rRaCiNg got his done for $40 and JZBLK just got his escalade caps done for $100. So shop around for a decent price.

Im trying to clean 12 year old never been cleaned leather seats, I dont think anything is going to work at this point

No ********. I used Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner and a soft brush on my never cleaned 2001 tan leather. I bought new leather for the front seats from the seatshop.com and they recommended it on the 2nd row for a one time cleaning. I thought he was joking. He swears by it and told me to check their videos on YouTube. I wasted so much time and money trying everything else so why not. It goddamn worked. My brother works with leather and he was stunned. I use lexol for regular cleaning and conditioning.
