Leather Dye

Has anyone ever had any luck with changing the color of their leather seats.

I have been searching frantically for some 4th gen seats to put into my 84 camaro and Now i have finally found someone with some for fairly cheap except they are tanish/brown and my interior is gray...

Iv found a few products on ebay etc.. that claim they can w/ no fading but I personally think there is no way. But I thought I would check to see if anyone else did something like this.

Re: Leather Dye

I posted a similar post and didn't receive any replies. However, searching the net, I have found some webpages that show you how to do it. One page was from a Ferrari forum and the end result is excellent. I just need to purchase the stripper and new dye. I can send you some of the links if you want. I'll be doing it over the next few weeks and plan to take before, during and after shots.

Re: Leather Dye

Sorry, I never rechecked this post

Anyway, if you still need them, leatherique.com has the leather treatment/cleaning products. And regarding dye, I used Zelikovitz and was very happy. They are also from Canada so you may save on shipping too.
