Default Change Interior Stitching Color

Has anyone attempted to ‘paint’ their interior stitching? I’ve got all black with white stitching and would prefer red stitching if there’s a way to do it that doesn’t look like garbage. Any thoughts?

Google upholstery shops in your area. They can pull the covers off and disassemble the panels and
stich if back up with any color you want. Upgrade cloth seats to leather, add seat heaters, easy for them.

This is your best option at a cheap price. Please do not try to sharpie your stitching.

Pretty neat. Wonder if you'd go wax coated or normal thread, saw both being done. Normal thread I think would be too thin.

Was thinking about my steering wheel thread recently and never occurred to me to do something that simple.
