Your dealership may know a body shop that does it . After the seat backs are removed they can be painted . This also appllies to the center console .

Bumperplugs feedback

When you contact them, would you mind sharing? I've always wanted to put a body-color backing on the car - but don't know how expensive or complex it is. Thanks in advance.

just have the back seats taken off at your dealer and send them to any body shop paint them and put them back

it require removing of the seat leather so you probably need help from a trim shop

from what i've heard No, You don't have to remove the leather & the seats can stay in the car, it takes about an hour for the 1st one & about 30 minutes for the second because by then you know what your doing (from what i've heard)
