Hi All, I have a very presentable K0 Ducktail seat with an area of damage at the front left corner, that has been the subject of a less than brilliant previous repair, but the seat is too good to re cover...yet. I know there are now SMART (Small Medium Area Repair Technique) repairs available for classic vinyl seats, mainly aimed at cars that use a coloured vinyl paste which is applied, heated, imprinted with the pattern of the surrounding vinyl and can be made all but invisible by a good operator. I have attempted to add a couple of photos, hopefully it will work.
I've seen such a repair on a Kawasaki H2 seat, in a very obvious position, and in all honesty I would never have spotted it, if the owner had not pointed out a microscopic blemish. The downside is the risk involved; the same guy had a repair done by the same SMART operator on a GT750 seat using the same method and the repairer held the heat gun on the area slightly too long and burnt the surrounding vinyl, ruining the seat.
I want to take the least risk possible; has anyone in the UK had such a repair done who could recommend an experienced repairer, or know of any other type of repair available?
