Very nice. I painted my coin tray black

Are you able to keep the stitching silver or does it blend in with the dye?

Passenger side upper door panel almost finished, drivers side not yet started:

If you use a brush [instead of spraying,] the stitching will remain "as-is" (as long as you don't get too close to it with a really "wet" brush.) That's one of the reasons I prefer Leatherique over spraying SEM.

I first use a small brush around the stitching, you can see the technique here:

"Top" done with 1 coat, working down the side:

Armrest on the left has one complete coat of dye, the one on the left wasn't re-dyed yet:

Completed kneepad with a good close-up of the stitching:

Mmm those upper door panels are now deliciously plump.

This past weekend I completed most of the interior re-dye, and restoration/repair of the upper door panels and rear "speaker panels."

Wow, you're getting some amazing results.

[Josh S]

Looking good! You better be bringing this to the DMA meet next month.

How did you repair the rear speaker panels? they look great.
