Just wondering if anyone has managed to find out the type of paint used on the back of the seats?

I've had no luck whatsoever - and have tried every avenue I can think of - including Recaro directly without a reply (even through one of their reselling agents I've had no luck).

Would be good if we can finally figure out what this special coating is and where to get it.

There is one other avenue that I've yet to try, but I can't be 100% certain that the product is the same. On our rear view mirrors, the housing is in a similar type of rubbery coating. The rear view mirrors are manufactured by Magna Donnelly - I've yet to email them to find out what this coating is - they are probably more likely to tell me what it is.

Didn't notice this topic. Try a product called plasti-dip. Its used on interior and exterior parts. Im sure any good body shop will be able to advise.

Dear Mr. Wardlaw,
Thank you for your email.
Recaro UK only deal in after market seating, so I'm sorry we do not have any information on these seats as they are original equipment, please contact BMW who should be able to help you by contacting their supplier.
Regards,
Michelle
RECARO UK

If it works out I'll be interested in getting it done, providing it's kid friendly :)
