Dyeing leather seats?
Has anyone dyed leather seats that were worn? I'm buying a cadillac and the color is coming off the tan drivers seat and steering wheel.
I'm wondering how hard dyeing a seat is, how long it lasts, and if it looks and feels like factory leather.
I saw this company on another website http://www.leatherrenew.homestead.co...oringKits.html

People have been dyeing leather for thousands of years. The dye is permanent, and doesn't change the feel. Only trick is getting the color right, but it looks like they have that covered in the kits.
I'm sure the instructions will tell you to do a test in a hidden area.
