Leather seat dye

Post by monzajake »

Has anyone used a leather dye to re colour the worn bits ?
Where the colour (black) has worn away it's gone back to its natural colour, brown hide.
So what have used, where from, how long has it lasted etc.
Cheers

I've done a fair bit of this over the years - Woolies supply pretty good kits - black is standard, but other colours can be matched. Very pleased with the results. I use a low pressure spray gun to apply. Happy to advise/explain/possibly even assist if I'm about (often working away) Based in Surrey. Cheers,
