Leather Dye - what's best?

[sdg3205]

I'd like to re-dye my seat covers. I've got some NOS seat bottoms that were once dyed a more bluish grey by accident. At any rate I'd do all the covers at once for a better match.

Any leather dyes stand above the rest? I've had mixed results with Leatherique's product line.

Cheers!

Bump.

I'd like to know, as well. My knee cushion on the passenger side has some brown areas across the top that detract from the rest of the car. I gave hydrogen peroxide cream a try, but it did nothing at all. Turns out that stuff turns yellow/brown ABS plastic back to looking brand new (aka, retr0brite)

Bob,

You're in luck. You only need the SEM vinyl dye for the knee pad. You can find cans of it most auto stores!

Leatherique's still my first choice but Rob is hard as hell I get in touch with. I've already got a few of the products for the job from them, and their dyes can be applied without air.

The problem is he doesn't have the Delorean colour on file and I don't have a leather swatch to send at the moment. I've asked if he can match it to the SEM dye though. It's pretty close.

Any idea what color? My local stores do not carry SEM products. Looking through eBay and Amazon, I see about 20 different shades.

Thanks,

IIRC, its the Acura Charcoal 17333... assuming you need grey, not black.

I use SEM Landau Black for my black interior. Good stuff!

Thanks! Just ordered a can from Amazon and will see how it goes.
