I am bored with my interior and want the center of my leather seats to match my center console. Any advice. I never painted leather before. Going to check youtube now.

I don't know bro? Little sketchy. How about painting the center console to match the reast of interior trim pieces?
TMI has custom seats that are just the skins. An can match the center sections of the seats to match your center console? I would just be leery to paint or dye the leather first? And be hard to match the silver or grayish color. And fear would wear or rub off overtime on my cloths? Would be sweet to have the front an back seats with the silver centers.

If it were suede inserts you could dye it. If its regular leather any paint will flake off from flexing and sliding around.
 
Find some seats from a 99 35th anniversary limited edition that already have the silver insert in the middle?

Also, where'd you get that center console at??
 
Looks like a Roush piece? They have the silver interior trims.

There is someone selling a complete kit in the forsale section.
Cluster trim, radio trim, shifter trim, and for.both doors. switch trims.

Ok I give... searched for twenty minutes and am not finding it. Wouldn't happen to have a link?
 
I don't see the seat painting working too well, but here's a pic of my car that may give you some other ideas of reviving your interior. We have basically the same setup, and I feel the subtle touches of billet and white face gauges gives it a nice contrasting look.

Just don't replicate the narrowband air fuel gauge, it's useless :p Have a wideband now in the same color scheme.
