Kart seat

[kibble]

So in my quest to find something other than my really wide, home made seat for the kart. I came across boat seats! Has anyone ever used one in their project? They're small and have mounting holes on the bottom which would make them easily adaptable to a kart. I sat on one in a K-mart store on Friday. Gf and I were just wandering around trying to wear off the buzz after leaving a restaurant :rolleyes3: and I came across several different ones. They were small, comfortable, and really grippy, but they didn't have any black ones or I would have bought one!

I would imagine they would turn out great. I have a friend who has a kart with a car seat! It's realll comfy.

Spray paint was invented for a reason

There's bucket boat seats too, I was looking them up online but some retail for $200+

The ones I saw at K-mart were only about $40, but the colors were lame.

Oscar.... I'm not THAT ghetto...

lol We had to pay 120 bucks for our go kart seat. It has ajutstable tracks on it. It is VERY comfy but still 120 bucks is quiet a bit to spend on a seat.

There is actually more specialized paints for vinyls and stuff that if done properly actually can come out pretty nice. it might be worth it moneywise to look into it.

My friend had used some stuff like that in his car to color the interior, but I didn't like the way it could rub off.

Maybe he didn't do it right, I guess it could be worth a try, seats weren't very expensive anyway.

i doubt he did as the paint is supposed to be like a dye and sink into the material.


i reckon go to a wrecker and pick up an awesome seat off a small written off coupe.
