Location: Carmarthenshire, Wales | I wouldn't go for matt/primer red personally. If you are set on going red I would go for a slightly different red, to be different yet subtle. I would consider candy red personally. That's just my opinion though. As ding said it's your car so up to you, all we can do is suggest ideas. |

Location: Dudley, Midlands | Red Oxide was done to death at one point...
(though granted, not on Metros)...
but I don't think it's been done in a while!?
Is easy to touch up for any minor cosmetic repairs you do...
and it's then a consistent basecoat for a shiny red if you change your mind.
I was going to red oxide 1 car, then lacquer it with some green pearl, just to be different!? |

Location: Jelling, Denmark | I would paint the patches in the correct shade of red. Last time i cleaned a set of seat belts i used a normal soap based interior cleaner that you rub and remove with a moist cloth and then leave them to dry and that turned out ok |

Wouldn't cost as much doing it yourself with cans but the primer idea seems more logical. |
