i've picked up leather die at walmart before , awhile back . you might also try homedepot ,for for color match pin's for wood cab', touch -up don't know how well it would work but you might come more near a match .
also try your parts dept.gm might just carry it . good luck '''' which ever way you decide to go be sure and test in a place you can'see .

Try this. Worked perfectly on my Lotus Evora leather.

Reviving this thread. I have some small scuffs on the 2015 I recently bought. The above mentioned site https://www.leatherrepairkits.com has a specific color listed for Kalahari interior 2014-16. I Just ordered the recolor kit since I don’t have areas of missing leather that need to be fillled in. will post back once i receive the kit.

I just ordered some from Seat Doctors on line. $25 for 4oz. I haven’t received it yet, so I cant vouch for how well the color actually matches, but they (Andy) were very responsive to my inquiry and specifically ask for the interior code color when mixing the order.

Funny, yeah it was some time ago. Yes, the color match was perfect and has held up two years and counting. I pulled the seat out, cleaned it really well and applied the dye with a makeup sponge. Worked perfectly.

I’ve ordered a bottle of Kalahari from Seat Doctors in the past. Unfortunately, the match wasn’t very good. To his credit, Andy is sending me a small amount of white pigment so I can lighten it up a tad.

After 7 years and 100k miles, I too find myself interested in touching up some rough spots on my Kalahari seats.
