The seats were primed using Rustoleum's Textured spray paint to mimic the texture of the real seats and then covered in flat red Tamiya acrylic. I then carefully applied Shunko Models satin weave kevlar pattern decals (SHK-D318) to the back of the seats. I used masking tape to create templates that I then cut out of the decal sheet and used Micro Set / Sol to fit everything nicely.
The seat belts took way longer than they should have due to the PE set I purchased (Detail Master 2261). The ribbon material that came with the set was way too thick to loop through all of the pieces, so I did some research and bought textured medical tape to find out that even that was too thick (even after painting it red). I then resorted to 3M red masking tape which I stuck two pieces together and cut thin strips out of using a new x-acto blade. I fixed all of the PE pieces by looping the material through, folding in the ends, and sealing with super glue. This was all done with the help of tweezers as well.
I then staged and super glued each completed strip to the seat themselves, which ended up turning out great I think.
