I was going to buy somthing similar from ebay but it was £20, you get some abrassive to treat the leather first. Did you do anything to the leather before applying and did you use a brush or a cloth to apply the dye as i'm very interested but would rather pay a fiver than £20 only for them to give me a bottle of dye and a bit of sandpaper. :hurl:

just clean the seats, damp cloth give it a good whipe, let it dry

then get a paint brush (a good one u dont want bits of brush on ure seats)

 

then apply it, side to side strokes, i.e same action across the seats

 

at first it doesnt look perfect as u tend to see the strokes but once it dries the strokes signs go away and ure left with perfect lookin seats

superb mate thanks for the link. do you have any pics of what the seats look like now? and do you think one bottle be enough for both fronts and the whole rear?

Hi,

 

Don't you have to seal it with something afterwards. I'm sure that leather dye is not colourfast if it gets hot. Imagine how hot your car interior will be in summer.

 

Just a thought but if you have some pics I'd love to see 'em. Hope you did "before" and "after" :)

 

CHEERS,

 

HARTY.

I would just like to have leather in mine. :cry:

I feel for ya mate. But only the fastest Zeds have leather.

WOHOOO :dance:
