schwinn seats
anyone ever bothered or have any ideas how to restore a worn seat like this one..
thinking of a dye of some sort, but i dunno...white shoe polish for a quickie and temp fix ?
on the other hand, a worn seat builds character, and keeps a 'vintage' look..
your thoughts..

"Knee jerk" response here... super light coats (only on areas where needed) of a spray-on paint like Plasti-Kote Plastic-Bond enamel? Just don't know how well the paint would hold up, since those seats are a vynl/plastic material.

I've seen replacement covers on Ebay. Maybe they didn't have the S, though.
