Any one know of a close match? The orange half of my 06's seat is getting faded and has black marks from the beaver tail and just looking ratty.

IIRC, someone on here from Miami took their seat in to an upholstery shop and had the orange done in white. Looked like a good job. Maybe you could do the same with new orange material. The last time mine started looking bad I used a tooth brush and whitening toothpaste with some elbow grease on it and it helped alot.

You should get it matched by someone to get it really close. I find the Ford "Grabber Orange" a decent match.

The Ford code for that is U. Also, the PPG paint code is 2232.

Get it done in black it will look fine.

A good seat upholstery shop can match the orange and replace it. I had the orange on my '06 Low seat replaced with red for my '08 XT.

Is it possible to just dye the old seat plain old black? Mine has the same stain from the triple tail, plus boots scuff it up and it just looks raddy... I was thinking about trying just a plain vinyl dye but I'm afraid it'll look like crap when I'm done.
