When ordering the car I wanted yellow stitches but wasn't interested in alcantara seats. Wish they offered alcantara surfaces; except the seats...awayway.
Watching clips on changing the stitch color. Some people use fabric paint markers others use markers.
Has anyone undertaken this on any of their cars?

If so what product did you use? (figure the product needs to be UV stable).
How long did last?

Should I just leave alone -- ?
 
I am in the same boat. I was very frustrated that I couldn't get contrast stitching in my all leather interior.
Why can they sew a piece of Alcantara and leather together with yellow stitch, but not sew two pieces of leather together with yellow stitch? 🤷🏻
I'm considering dying my white stitching a blue color to go with an overall theme I have in mind.
