Airbrushed Type S Headrests

I decided to post this up again since the last thread was deleted due to Vendor Status issues.
Anyway, I wanted the Type S logo colored in on my leather head rests. Decided to have them airbrushed. Here they are.

Looks nice!

I'm wondering...won't the paint wear off if you rub your head on the headrest several times?

Wow I definitely like! Another thing i know would work, as ghetto as it sounds, is a red sharpie. A buddy of mine did this when we were like 16, and it never rubbed off and kept its color. The stiching held the color for the few years he had the car.

That's pretty tight! I wished they did that to begin with... Maybe put something over it so that when your head rubs on it it won't rub on your head... hahaha...

This will definitely hold up for a long time. Before I had this done I consulted with a leather restoration/repair guy on the internet plus, the artist has been airbrushing leather jackets for a years. Which are abused much more than headrests. There is a clear-coat to seal and protect. So rubbing and touching do not harm it.

I am not usually a fan of this type of stuff, but in this case it looks very good.
