BOSWELL891 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I usually cover the seat in a piece of masking tape and then paint it a color of choice and them you can make rips and stuff in the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 You can carefully heat the cushion from beneath, which will cause it to sag. This simulates broken-down padding and worn-out springs. Also, a few strips of matte-finish Bare Metal foil can be used to simulate duct tape applied over rips and tears in the upholstery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
