DYE recommendations for re-dyeing leather seats

I just picked up a set of '97 Leather T.A. seats. They are charcoal gray and I want them black. They are uninstalled and I have time to spare, so I plan on doing a thorough re-dye job.

Before I start, I'm looking for opinions from those who have done this already; which brand products did you use successfully?

If anyone is interested, here are two similar resources/instructions I will be following.

Thanks in advance!

I ended up choosing Zelikovitz for dye and have been happy with the choice. If you look at my photo album, you'll see a before and after shot.

Re: DYE recommendations for re-dyeing leather seats

I use sherman williams interior dye. Just put in your spray gun and shot it. I have used it many times, if seats are clean (no grease or oil or armor all etc) it last many years. I did my seats it 2002 and stills looks like new.
