Hello to all our great subscribers! We hope your 2021 is much better than the last year! We wanted to show everyone how to paint silicone glue especially if you are repairing leather or vinyl this even works on boat seating. ****Quote of the Day: The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.***
Unfortunately sometimes the majority is just in the minds of people because that's what they're told. Evidence what is happening in today's climate.

Great, I saved my 27 yo E36 BMW leather seats by this method. After that, I became addicted to Sweet Project Cars. So people are warned! Have a great week Mike. thanks for sharing again. Dutch regards, Nico.
Great video, but forgive me, your first part video you wipe the silicone onto the beige seat having not mixed it with the seat colour paint, and when you sprayed it, it stuck. In this video you mix the bead of silicone with wet paint. What’s the difference.
If you're having a problem with adhesion mix the two together, mixing it is a guaranteed way to have your paint adhere. Thanks for watching and asking Neil, we appreciate it. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars heat a needle red hot and it will melt through the nail. Do it slowly, when you get all the way through the blood will get cool the needle and you are done. A little dab of super glue and you are all patched up.
Quick question, in a separate video it seems like you used silicone to fill in cracked leather without mixing it with paint. In that case, was it because you used SEM leather paint that it could adhere to silicone without mixing?
We have done this for years and for us it is second nature to do this without mixing, we suggest that you mix the silicone and paint, apply, let dry then do your final spray coat of paint. Hope this helps Ruben, thank you for watching. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
HI, based on your videos (thanks for them!)... the seat crack on driver's side vinyl seat now filled.....BUT darn silicone (same brand you use - since used almost your links to buy most fix-items) only deviation = bought exact color of seat paint from BMW - said could paint on afterwards w/ any type of paintbrush. Per your advice, I mixed that paint with the silicone - color was perfect, and did 5 thin coats. very happy with how looks -- and only problem = the silicon is sticky....ughhHH.. I still intend to paint this seat with the BMW paint - have 3/4 of the bottle left.. but is there something I can do to get the silicome to NOT be sticky first? the BMW paint was expensive and slow to be delivered, and don't want to waste.... if this paint over the silicone enough for it to not be sticky, cool.... but I'm worried that the silicone will still be sticky... and can't have a sticky seat - it'll ruin my clothes.. Might you toss me some advice? Huge Thanks, Shay
Hello Shay, try wiping it down with this amzn.to/3wIDQHd You may have to do it a few times, then after you've done that, it should be far less sticky if at all. Then painting it should make it perfect for you. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Just came across this video , stoked to try it on a couple of small cuts in my white vinyl boat seats .

I would love to try this on my Sea Doo seats, but I am having trouble finding purple paint for vinyl seats. Do you have any suggestions on where to find purple paint?
We would start here amzn.to/3RxxkzO This is how we do it, we purchase many different shades of the color we are looking for and use the one that best matches. If you are a stickler for detail, then you may want to just purchase a new seat from the dealership. Be sure to re-watch this video in its entirety before you jump into the process of siliconing your seat. Thank you for watching and asking, have a fantastic week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike
Thanks for the reply. My Sea Doos are too old to get parts from the dealer. I am mostly concerned with durability and to just get them to look decent. Jet ski seats can get abused and sun faded. I have been looking for paint made for vinyl. Can I use just about any paint? Will the Rust-Oleum 2X work? Can I use GE 100% Silicone or does it need to be the Permatex adhesive silicone?
Give it a shot sounds like you've got nothing to lose it's worked on everything we've tried it on. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Would it work to do exactly what you did here and mix the silicon and paint prior to placing it? Use a clean, hard plastic board (like a small cutting board that's been wiped with 99%) to mix it, then trowl or spread it (depending on whether it's cracks or a larger wear spot) where you need it? That way you kind of mix up a batch that can be consistent across multiple seats with multiple repair spots.
Sir, may you please direct myself to the “show more” description as I would like to buy DIY leather repair kit. Thank you for sharing an educational video.
Is the Plastic & Leather Prep also an adhesion promoter? I read the product/reviews and went to the SEM site, but I don't see it defined. Not sure if this is a "prep" that just helps clean/dull the surface or if it is just an ahesion. Thanks for your great videos and educating people. Tremendous help!
Is the adhesion promoter you're using prior to painting the leather seats the "SEM Plastic Adhesion Promoter", or the "SEM Plastic and Leather Prep"? Nice work, thanks for the clear instruction.
It's this amzn.to/2z3oiBu for leather prep. Glad to help, we truly appreciate the view and question, have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Here's a question can you you have the paint mixed silcone and paint on top of all ready soft selcone & not have it chip or peel off from constant bending & using? If so I do I do that & what kind of paint should I use? Ect. This what thinking paint a light coat of white silcone on top the base silicone let that drat then go back & paint what need to paint with oil paints let the dry then do coat of clear silicone let that dry & then my thinking it can threw anything. Your thoughts?
Why is your initial silicone soft? Why is it not cured? Why would you want to paint over soft silicone, if it's not cured, you don't want to do that. Thanks. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Give it a shot my friend, you can use any non-latex paint. Hope this helps my friend, thanks again for the view and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
What do you think, if I was to take a 5 gallon bucket of 100% silicone roof coating (coasting me 400 dollars U.S.) & mix some paint with it then paint it on my roof, then if I wanted to even give it a coat of paint over it (or maybe not). And could I paint the silicone roof coating after it dries with a latex paint or do we need to paint it with an oil based paint. And do I need to add a oil paint with the 100% silicone roof coating or what. Thanks 2024-02-09(day).
We were doing it the way we did it for video purposes, you can put it in your wife's blender if you want ;) Thanks for sharing and watching Doopydoop! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hi there! I'm repairing my RV seats. Would a paintable silicone, like "GE Paintable Silicone Supreme Window and Door Sealant" work without having to mix the pint and silicone? (It comes in white only)
Use this amzn.to/2DuPmO1 Please follow the video to a T, there is no other alternative, use the exact same tools, products and method, we've spent years perfecting this process. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
In your two other videos linked in this videos description you didn't mix the paint in the silicone, how did you avoid the fish-eyes in those applications?
Because we put a mixed coating over the initial coating. You will see that in the video series attached here. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars I re-watched those videos and don't see where you put a mixed coating over the initial coating. Can someone give me a time stamp? All I am seeing is you spreading the silicone, letting it dry and then spray painting over it.
Help, I mixed my paint with my permatex and applied to a coat of dried permatex without paint in it on my boat seat. It doesn't seem to be drying? What can I do or what went wrong?
You need to mix it with the paint and re-apply it to the stuff that isn't drying, it will dry then. You need to make sure you are in 70 to 80 degree weather though. Sit it out in the sun, it will dry. Thanks for watching and asking Amy. mad Mike the hammer SPC
The same process goes for black seats, and it's actually easier on black. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Yes, this is how easy it is, mix the paint with the silicone, apply, let dry, then paint the color that you want. You got it! Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. mad Mike & team
I recently used permatex rtv clear silicone to fill in cracks on my arm rest in my car, with it being dry now If I mix color with silicone as you have directed will I be able to go over the already dry clear silicone on my armrest?

Can I mix the silicone with leather dye? Thinking I will dye my furniture first, then go over any damaged areas with the silicone/dye mix. Any suggestions??
Give it a try, see if you like the results, test it on a small inconspicuous area first, that's how we do things here, we try it and if we don't like it, we don't do it again. Thanks for watching and asking Micki, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars on you video “how to repair the nastiest leather..”, you spray painted over the silicone without mixing the silicone with the spray paint. How did the paint stick to the silicone? I have a brown leather couch n loveseat. With this method do you think I could change the color to gray? Would this be difficult and expensive?
Thumbs up. Thanks. I viewed earlier video but never applied the lesson, so I had to view again then saw this newer dated video. I hope to try on sun dried marine vinyl sun deck and seat areas, not torn or holes but baked from sun and weather from a prior owner not caring to keep indoors or keep a cover on. So this is more of spreading a thin coat of the silicone over the weathered vinyl. Will it stick to vinyl that is not torn? Next the white portions of seats are mildew stained, cannot get stains to come out of the white vinyl. Do you know of anything to remove those type of vinyl stain?
Hello Monty, you need to make sure you are subscribed and have your notifications turned on because we are launching a video today on the exact way to get mold/mildew out of vinyl, you will love it! This process in this video will work no un-torn vinyl, just make sure you use this amzn.to/2z3oiBu Thanks for watching and asking, watch for our new video :) mad Mike the hammer SPC

Great video.. Given that It's V difficult to match leather seat colors ..especially so with Rattle can types. Can I mix up Acrylic colors to match the existing leather colour and use those in the Silicone. ? Wondering as most leather paints are acrylics.. I think ?
LOL, thanks Omar, you can use whatever bit you want for your fingernails, we just used the one that was already in the drill :) LOL Thanks for the laugh this morning, have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I agree. I’ve tried paint chip correction like in your previous videos. I get stumped when the paint pen (one side paint, the other side clear), doesn’t mix well. I’ve tried to mix droplets of each at varying ratios (1:1, 1:2 etc). Every time the resulting mixture is sticky ‘goop’. Please help.
We will add that to our list of upcoming videos my friend! Thank you for watching and for your suggestion, we really appreciate it! Have a fantastic evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks love your channel... I was watching one of your videos about the scratched paint and the repair that you did to it but towards the end it didn't show the completion I'm not sure if I missed anything or you didn't release it yet

Well my friend, you obviously didn't listen to the video, please listen to it again and you will see why it's useful for certain projects. When you are a DIYer a lot of things you may repair on your vehicle may need silicone and when people tell us it can't be painted we wanted to share and show that it can be. Remember my friend, part of being mechanically inclined is learning new methods, you never know when it may come in useful. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Another great video by SPC! Question: what types of paint can you mix into the silicone? I guess only oil based, like all spray can paints? Now, if not in a spray can, I would think that I can only use oil based (like Rust-oleum), not water based, correct? Therefore, this would leave out the "artistic acrylic paints" (water based) sold in Walmart, Michaels, etc... as well as latex paints,.is the above correct? Thanks!
You can use any paint except latex paints, it cannot be water based paint my friend. Sorry for our delay in responding, hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike
SPC, you guys are fantastic! I just purchased a 2009 Lexus ES350 with the light gray leather seats (code:LA15) that need some reconditioning. I can only find leather dye corresponding to the LA15 color code for this lexus. Could you add leather dye to the silicone instead of paint? If it has to be paint any help for the paint color would in my case would be appreciated. Thank you. John
Hey John, I don't see why dye wouldn't work, give it a shot. Thanks for asking and watching my friend. Glad to have you here with us. Have a great evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC

In your previous video on restoring seats, you applied silicone and then painted over it. Is this an updated version? Or did you not show that portion in your previous video? Seems a little confusing. Thanks again for your sharing!!

Think God i watched your vido cuz i was going to Be using silicone tomorrow to patch a spot on my leather seat in my car and was going to just paint over it after

What adhesion promoter do you recommend and leather dye company? Also, some adhesion promoters appear designed to be mixed in with the actual paint. Which method do you prefer? In the meantime: A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks "Hey buddy, why the long face?"
That makes total sense!! Cool. Had to laugh at your random corny humor injected here and there. Brought a smile to my face. Now as for the ending, Holy Schniky! Somebody whacked their fingernail and needed to drain some shall we say loosened fluids Hahahahaha. Don't you hate when that happens. At least you relieved the pressure. Fingernails can be very painfully achy.
You got it Leonard! LOL, it felt so much better after that relief! Thanks for your comment my friend. Always a pleasure. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
If you have ever mashed your finger with a hammer or in a door jamb and it swelled like crazy under the nail you would know why. Hurts like hell until you relieve the pressure.

This what thinking paint a light coat of white silcone on top the base silicone let that drat then go back & paint what need to paint with oil paints let the dry then do coat of clear silicone let that dry & then my thinking it can threw anything. Your thoughts?
Why is your initial silicone soft? Why is it not cured? Why would you want to paint over soft silicone, if it's not cured, you don't want to do that. Thanks. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars it's for someone's prosthetic leg
Give it a shot my friend, you can use any non-latex paint. Hope this helps my friend, thanks again for the view and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
What do you think, if I was to take a 5 gallon bucket of 100% silicone roof coating (coasting me 400 dollars U.S.) & mix some paint with it then paint it on my roof, then if I wanted to even give it a coat of paint over it (or maybe not). And could I paint the silicone roof coating after it dries with a latex paint or do we need to paint it with an oil based paint. And do I need to add a oil paint with the 100% silicone roof coating or what. Thanks 2024-02-09(day).
Maybe I'll do a little test using a little oil based paint today, while I'm paint a roof, but not on the roof. :)
You can try all that you mentioned here in your comment But this video was set up to deal with silicone jobs done on vehicles. Have a good day
Squeeze your glue (silicone, Elmers, etc.) into a cup, add paint, mix thoroughly.
We were doing it the way we did it for video purposes, you can put it in your wife's blender if you want ;) Thanks for sharing and watching Doopydoop! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hi there! I'm repairing my RV seats. Would a paintable silicone, like "GE Paintable Silicone Supreme Window and Door Sealant" work without having to mix the pint and silicone? (It comes in white only)
Use this amzn.to/2DuPmO1 Please follow the video to a T, there is no other alternative, use the exact same tools, products and method, we've spent years perfecting this process. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
In your two other videos linked in this videos description you didn't mix the paint in the silicone, how did you avoid the fish-eyes in those applications?
Because we put a mixed coating over the initial coating. You will see that in the video series attached here. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars I re-watched those videos and don't see where you put a mixed coating over the initial coating. Can someone give me a time stamp? All I am seeing is you spreading the silicone, letting it dry and then spray painting over it.
@@D2O2 Yeah, I’m with you. That’s all I saw too. Now I’m confused.
Help, I mixed my paint with my permatex and applied to a coat of dried permatex without paint in it on my boat seat. It doesn't seem to be drying? What can I do or what went wrong?
New silicone won’t adhere to cured silicone.
You need to mix it with the paint and re-apply it to the stuff that isn't drying, it will dry then. You need to make sure you are in 70 to 80 degree weather though. Sit it out in the sun, it will dry. Thanks for watching and asking Amy. mad Mike the hammer SPC
any video with black seats? are they any more difficult?
The same process goes for black seats, and it's actually easier on black. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
So if I am understanding this correctly, you are using the paint to tint the silicone and then painting over that. Paint sticks to paint. Great tip.
Yes, this is how easy it is, mix the paint with the silicone, apply, let dry, then paint the color that you want. You got it! Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great week my friend. mad Mike & team
I recently used permatex rtv clear silicone to fill in cracks on my arm rest in my car, with it being dry now If I mix color with silicone as you have directed will I be able to go over the already dry clear silicone on my armrest?
Give it a shot, try it in a small inconspicuous area to make sure you like the results my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike

@@SweetProjectCars on you video “how to repair the nastiest leather..”, you spray painted over the silicone without mixing the silicone with the spray paint. How did the paint stick to the silicone?
I have a brown leather couch n loveseat. With this method do you think I could change the color to gray? Would this be difficult and expensive?
Bro… you’re a legend…
Much appreciated! Thanks for the view and comment, have a sweeeeeet week my friend. mad Mike & team
Thumbs up. Thanks. I viewed earlier video but never applied the lesson, so I had to view again then saw this newer dated video. I hope to try on sun dried marine vinyl sun deck and seat areas, not torn or holes but baked from sun and weather from a prior owner not caring to keep indoors or keep a cover on. So this is more of spreading a thin coat of the silicone over the weathered vinyl. Will it stick to vinyl that is not torn? Next the white portions of seats are mildew stained, cannot get stains to come out of the white vinyl. Do you know of anything to remove those type of vinyl stain?
Hello Monty, you need to make sure you are subscribed and have your notifications turned on because we are launching a video today on the exact way to get mold/mildew out of vinyl, you will love it! This process in this video will work no un-torn vinyl, just make sure you use this amzn.to/2z3oiBu Thanks for watching and asking, watch for our new video :) mad Mike the hammer SPC

Great video.. Given that It's V difficult to match leather seat colors ..especially so with Rattle can types.
Can I mix up Acrylic colors to match the existing leather colour and use those in the Silicone. ? Wondering as most leather paints are acrylics.. I think ?
If you think you can mix it up and get the desired color, yes, absolutely. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great secret Mike. Thank you and look forward 2021 videos.

LOL, thanks Omar, you can use whatever bit you want for your fingernails, we just used the one that was already in the drill :) LOL Thanks for the laugh this morning, have a fantastic day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Can you do more on PDR and paint correction
I agree. I’ve tried paint chip correction like in your previous videos. I get stumped when the paint pen (one side paint, the other side clear), doesn’t mix well. I’ve tried to mix droplets of each at varying ratios (1:1, 1:2 etc). Every time the resulting mixture is sticky ‘goop’. Please help.
We will add that to our list of upcoming videos my friend! Thank you for watching and for your suggestion, we really appreciate it! Have a fantastic evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks love your channel... I was watching one of your videos about the scratched paint and the repair that you did to it but towards the end it didn't show the completion I'm not sure if I missed anything or you didn't release it yet
Can you use any type of paint? Particularly a leather paint(in a little tub) that's not in a spray can? Hope that makes sense 🤔
Yes, as long as it's not latex paint. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Just a moment, Mike, I love the quote you shared ☯️👍
How do you keep the silicone from being sticky…the PAINT??
Would have like it if you could give examples of why this method is useful .Repairing what ?
Well my friend, you obviously didn't listen to the video, please listen to it again and you will see why it's useful for certain projects. When you are a DIYer a lot of things you may repair on your vehicle may need silicone and when people tell us it can't be painted we wanted to share and show that it can be. Remember my friend, part of being mechanically inclined is learning new methods, you never know when it may come in useful. Thanks for watching. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Another great video by SPC! Question: what types of paint can you mix into the silicone? I guess only oil based, like all spray can paints? Now, if not in a spray can, I would think that I can only use oil based (like Rust-oleum), not water based, correct? Therefore, this would leave out the "artistic acrylic paints" (water based) sold in Walmart, Michaels, etc... as well as latex paints,.is the above correct? Thanks!
You can use any paint except latex paints, it cannot be water based paint my friend. Sorry for our delay in responding, hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks, keep up with the great videos!
Can you mix acrylic paint with silicone?
You can mix any paint as long as it's not latex. Thank you for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
SPC, you guys are fantastic! I just purchased a 2009 Lexus ES350 with the light gray leather seats (code:LA15) that need some reconditioning. I can only find leather dye corresponding to the LA15 color code for this lexus. Could you add leather dye to the silicone instead of paint? If it has to be paint any help for the paint color would in my case would be appreciated. Thank you.

@@johnnyontheslot Did you add dye to the silicone? Did it work?
@@joeblow1942 unfortunately, no it did not work but as I found out later, I purchased a water based dye so that likely contributed to the failure

That makes total sense!! Cool.
Had to laugh at your random corny humor injected here and there. Brought a smile to my face.
Now as for the ending, Holy Schniky! Somebody whacked their fingernail and needed to drain some shall we say loosened fluids Hahahahaha. Don't you hate when that happens. At least you relieved the pressure. Fingernails can be very painfully achy.

This works on all leather and vinyl. Thanks for watching Ivy. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I didn't understand why you drilled your fingernail at the end of the video?
IKR? Was there a blood blister?
To release pressure under the nail. Instant relief. I use a heated paperclip to burn trough the nail.
If you have ever mashed your finger with a hammer or in a door jamb and it swelled like crazy under the nail you would know why. Hurts like hell until you relieve the pressure.
smashed, need to release pressure. Yeah, that was pretty crazy.
Just keeping things interesting.... had to relieve the pressure under that nail somehow. LOL Thanks for watching my friend. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
