Rick,
Safety belts are made of mainly synthetic fabric, and synthetic does not
dye easily. Your chances to get a good result are very slim. If you have a
problem with the color, the best is to change the belts, or at least the
straps.
If you have a set of buckles, you can fit the straps without sewing
anything. Just use flat buckes as retainers. That's an approved method, as
per AC 43 13.

Objet : KR> Dyeing Seat Belts
My belts are bright green and that just won't work with my color scheme.
Has anyone tried dyeing them with Ritz dye? I'm wondering if it might
weaken the fabric -- or if they might not absorb the dye fully.
I want to dye them black and hate to mess up a perfectly good set of seat
belts/shoulder harnesses (Davis Aircraft Products).
