 Let me show you what this bad boy can do. So hey guys, welcome to another episode of Titanium Man Garage. And today I've got something new in store for you. I got an old video I'm going to renew. I reupholstered a ATV seat about two and a half years ago. Didn't have the greatest camera, the video didn't turn out too hot. So today I'm going to show you how I reupholster a seat. And actually it's not too bad. So sit back, have your favorite cocktail, enjoy the show. I've been working on the Sportsman for about a week now. And the guy that I got from tried to reupholster the seat. This is that gripper back type material. It's too short for the seat. He never finished it either. He started stapling it. So that's going to make my job easier. You can see here he's got it. So I don't have to remove all his staples. But I will show you how to take the staples out. So what you're going to need for this job is you can get a lot of the stuff out of Walmart actually. This is a staple puller. Your staples you get at Home Depot. And I bought this online. It doesn't have to be that expensive of a gun. But you want to head like that about that wide. It's about an inch wide I'd say. It's an upholstery staple gun. This is a 3 plus. It does the job good. If you're doing a scrambler seat, it's kind of nice because you can kind of get in at an angle. It's just a flat stapler type of gun. Yeah, that's pretty much all you're going to need. Your seat cover, of course. I got this off of eBay, Joe Mama. Joe Mama, I like that name. I order all my seat covers through her. She does a great job. I'm not getting paid to plug this, but I'm just telling you that's where I get all my covers from. All of them fit nice. They give a little extra material and they hold up well. I'll show you the next step. Alright, step one. So this is where the staple puller is going to come in. Like I said, I'm fortunate this guy had already pulled all the staples out. To make this easier, like if you've got an old seat, I take a razor blade and I'll just cut the material along the edge here, just get it out of the way and I'll just start pulling them out. And I'll cut the section off and just pull it as I'm going. This actually works really good. It gets under the staple and bites it down and pulls it right out. And these are new staples. You can also just grab it and pinch it if you want to pull the rest of the staple out. Alright, I got the seat cover off and you can see there's imperfections in the foam. What I like to do is I'll take a little foam and I can get some one inch foam or something a little smaller and try to fill that in. Otherwise when you put the new seat cover on, you're going to see those ripples when you start pulling things tight. This maybe not so much. Maybe I'll actually take a piece of this fabric and just try to fill that in and tape over it. But this gouge is pretty deep. So I might try to fill it in with a little one inch foam or maybe even half inch foam and put some tape over it to keep it down and hopefully that'll keep some imperfections away. So you can see I cut up some of that old cover and I'm filling this in. I'm just going to take some black tape and tape over that. That'll fill that in nice. That won't show. So I'll get some foam for that and make her look pretty. Alright, so I got my T-50 staples. My pneumatic air stapler and lock cock and ready to rock. Let's get this show on the road. Alright, so I got my my repairs done. What I like to do is try to get everything laid out nice first. Line everything up. So you have seams here that are sewed in so you want to make sure they're in the right spot. Just trying to get that in the right position. Alright, make sure I got my seam lines lined up. Two lines around the bone here and I got to squirt it off. Pop two staples in right here and I'm going to go ahead and pull that site. So this tightens up and I can always readjust this later on. Pop two staples right here. That's just the whole everything in place while I'm stapling. I'm going to start from the two sides. Wrap that ground. Make sure the front's all snug and then I'll start working my way down. The nice is if you sew something up you can always pull the staple out and redo it. It's hard enough, but like this now I've got too much fabric on this side and the other side. I might change that. The next step is I want to make sure I get this bow out of here. Now I'm pulling on both sides really hard. I'm probably going to wrap this really tight as tight as I can. Staple it. I'll probably let the staples out here and then pull that forward. So this one's getting to be a little tricky. Pretty good. This one is not stretching out the way I want it to. Still getting a buckle in the back. So I can always take some steam to it later on. I'll try to get this little bubble out. So I can stretch this really hard and I'm going to take these staples off and pull it a little better. I do the back. I can probably pull it tight. Generally I don't use like quarter inch staples. They don't poke through. Pretty good. Nice and tight. Stretching and pulling involved. The side's looking really good. I'll do the other side. I'm going to get your wrinkles out. I can finish stapling everything else up. You just got to cut your trim off and that looks nice. I'll take a couple subscribers say you know every time I click a video on how to fix something on my four wheeler the command pops up. I do wraps. I do seat covers. I do rubble engines, transmissions. You know I am like the jack of all trades. I am not an expert in anything. But I've got the willingness to do something and an open mind and a willingness to learn. And that's all you need. Go ahead and just trim off the excess fat and make your luck pretty. So it sits decent on the machine. Staple any excess loose ends you see along the way. Here's a little bit loose. Pop one in here. More staples won't hurt anything. I got this bad boy all finished. So if you've been watching my channel for the past week and know what I'm talking about I've got all the wiring grumblings out of this bad boy. I couldn't get her to shut off. I got it all buttoned up. I wanted to give her a little titanium man touch with the new seat cover. Got all the lights to work and it does stop. No, I couldn't get it to shut off. But yeah. This looks nice. I'll tell you what. Take an old machine like this clean up the rims and tires and put a seat cover on it. She'll bring in a good price. It makes it look not younger. Let's put it that way. This is a 1998 and I clean up the plastics real nice. I can make this thing look shiny and new. So I hope you all like my video. Like I said I had to redo my seat covering video because it was kind of cheesy from three years ago. And I went with the camo because I got the green plastics. So it's turned out pretty nice, nice tight. She sits out in the sun. These little imperfections will go away. This will all tighten up real nice. The heat will tighten everything up. So now the part you've probably been waiting for. Got my jump pack on. Still have a battery for this thing. Everything wired up nice. Now when I turn this on the lights actually work. Did hot wire the fan so it doesn't overheat. Here you have it folks. Thanks for watching my video. Hit the thumbs up. Hit subscribe if you haven't. I've got plenty of players for pairs. And like always till next time.
