I personally would just apply the die as per the directions right over the top of the fabric. If it doesn't work then you're no worse off than you are now. The shoe dye thing sounds like a GREAT idea, If it's designed for extreme use like a shoe then I don't see why it wouldn't work on a seat. As for the pieces that are chipping I'd simply sand them down with some high grit sand paper so all the chipped pieces are off and it's smooth again (no need to remove any of the paint that is sticking just fine), apply your adesion stuff, then paint. At this point if those ideas don't work you're no worse off than you are now and none of this stuff is very expensive.
Side note: watch the profanity in your posts please, we try to keep it clean in here.

Ok, well i quit for tonight. I was getting aggrivated so I thought it'd be best to quit before I got too mad and started messing things up. Sorry for cussing, didn't know it was a rule on the this forum, I was venting. I'll keep it clean from now on. Let me know if you have any more ideas.

The only other thing I can think of is that Krylon makes a KILLER exterior paint specifically for plastics. I repainted a plastic table with it and it's been outside in the sun/snow/being used and it still looks just fine. I preped the table by washing it with dish soap and a garden hose *L* Find the stuff that's outdoors stuff for plastics.
I just did some research and apparnetly it's called Krylon Fusion. This sparked a memory and I realized that on an old thread someone had painted their engine cover with it and gotten bad results. On the other hand when I've used it by simply washing the plastic then spraying it on I've had great results....

yeah, I noticed he was saying that, I had great luck with it but I was also working in a warm enviroment, in both cases (you and the other person) where you had a flaking issue the temperature was much colder. Have you considered contacting krylon directly to tell them what's happening with their paint and see if they will give you some ideas?

Bump.. Just giving a little update. As of now money and weather are holding me back. Interior is still stripped. Saving cash right now for s2000 seats and to have the backseats reapolstered to match the s2k seats. I also picked up a new set of 17's still in box wrapped in plastic. So hopefully by the end of spring or into the summer I'll have got my car lowered on skunk2 springs with illumina adjustable struts and shocks, I'll have my rims put on, and the interior complete. I intend on getting an aftermarket steering wheel as well just not sure what i am going to go with. I want it mainly for more legroom. But yeah if you want a pic of my new rims let me know I'll post some or if you just feel like leaving a comment.. go ahead :)

You wouldn't happen to be able to find a pic of a 5th gen accord sitting on my wheels lowered would you? My car is sherwood green pearl so if you find one that color that would be great. Also do you know where I can get some tires for cheap or anyplace that could get me some good deals on tires?
