Dyeing Leather seats
Has anyone dyed their seats? Any advice on what to do and not to do?
I will not be changing colors and will stay with the same factory color. Does it turn out well?
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Re: Dyeing Leather seats (ld85)
I used liquid black shoe polish on mine and it worked perfect. It was water resistant, would not rub off and made the black leather look like new again. I did test if on an area first just to be sure it wouldn't rub off, etc. and it passed all my tests. You might try it.

Re: Dyeing Leather seats (ld85)
I used leather shoe dye in a small applicator bottle. One bottle did both seats.
After a smooth application to both seats I let it dry then used leather conditionor to soften the material (2 applications) and it actually made my black seats liik brand new! (Don't tell anybody!) :clown
