A friend of mine runs this site: www.carleatherdye.co.uk Don't quote me on it, but believe the process is more-or-less a case of sand down, paint with the special leather paint, seal... and you're done! |

Hi, I'm up 4 a listen, as i have plans to colour change a set of Front + Rear Leather seats for my Sierra! From what ive learned so far it really is alot similar to how its done to a car.. You clean it, sand it, fill craks and bumbs, prep it and paint it. When it comes to the painting part it seems there`s altleast 3 diffrent ways i know of: spray sponge and pencil i got a good impresion of how it was done reading this guide: www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=233787using product from here: www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Colourant_Kit.php#pricesas well as watching what youtube has to offer on the matter so as to get a good impresion of the many ways it can be done! seems its easier to go for a darker colour rather than lighter. well, thats all ive learned so far. hope it can be of use to you 8) |

I've heard that if your original colour is light, you get better results going for another light shade and and if it's a dark colour it's better to go for another dark colour.

I was told that you can change to any colour, but you get better results if it's dark to dark and light to light. |

Would it be possible to re-trim it in brown leather?
