Hi everyone,
I was looking at my seats the other day and they just arent as fresh as they used to be. They are a lil worn and have small surface scratches here and there. Now I know that no leather comes in cashmere color and its all painted/dye'd. So is there a dye or paint I could buy to try and fix small areas of my cashmere interior?

You're fortunate they offer the cashmere-anyone seen the cobalt red for a C6? Mine could use just a bit of touchup as well. I've used these dyes on my '84 with good results.

Wow, thank you so much. Thats EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Am I going to need the "primer" that is mentioned in the description? Also how do I go about applying this?

I'd like to find the Cobalt Red too.

Hey Kyle-- Hope you've been well - - your realtor says 'hello' !

I think it depends upon whether you're trying to cover a large panel or do a color change - -I think I'd be inclined to use something as a cleaner to get the oil off the leather and then try a small masked-off area. I used something similar on my SL to touch up the side bolster that my butt hit getting in/out and I just gave it a light spray - - it covered pretty well.

Try using some good leather cleaner/reconditioner on the other areas and then a good treatment like Meguiers - - -it can really perk it back up . . .

i've had a project in mind that requires cobalt red interior dye. my local automotive paint store can custom mix SEM interior dye for about $50/pint. too high, and i'm too cheap for that. i saw the display rack of rattle-can SEM interior paints, and the standard "portola red" (#15363) looked pretty close. i took a $15 gamble and bought a can. i popped off a red plastic cap under my console lid, and ran a piece of masking tape across the center and painted half of the part. my initial result is, SEM portola red is, FWIW, as close as you're going to get. i'll post further, color match" results as my project continues...



remember, take this FWIW, test your own pieces/parts, and i hope this helps anyone looking for cobalt red interior paint.
