Thanks for sharing that, very helpful.

I think I will do my couches, the cat has modified them with its claws.

I have one of these kits - Got it because the dye had worn where the seat belt rubs - seems to do a pretty good job. Must give the rest of the seats a good clean sometime.

I happened to be passing through Timaru the other day and stopped at Subway for lunch and parked opposite Pelle. Would have gone in for a chat but it was Sunday

I've used similar before and it's worked really well. As long as you prep properly and seal afterwards the colour will be as good as new. Black on black's the easiest to do.

It works so well I'm planning to recolour black leather to a light cinnamon. I'll do as much as I can myself but will probably get pro help for the larger areas as you need a decent airbrush to get a nice even cover.

Look forward to seeing you results.

overall I'm pretty happy with the results. If your seat was more worn I'm sure the result would be more drastic.

Obviously better than taking to a auto re-trimmer.

Looks good. I've just ordered a kit to refurbish an Msport steering wheel I picked up from Brent. Will add some pics when I do it as well.

so does it build up on the leather, I.E form a coating or is it just colour?

It should form a coating like the original one applied in the factory. With larger areas you'd normally use a dye then a topcoat but this DIY kit is an all in one so you don't need to spray on a topcoat afterwards.

Not sure how well it'll work on a steering wheel but thought I'd give it a try.
