Possible to "dye" 4th gen leather???

Hey guys. Well, since no one has black 4th gen leather seats, I am forced to go with the closest thing. Graphite. My question is, is it possible to dye this dark dark grey color to a more black if not jet black color? How is it done? Where can I get the materials and approx. how much will it run me to do all 4 seats. Thanks guys, I appreciate it

Will

It is possible, but I dont know how. I sell seats to bodyshops all the time, and they ask for grey, and I have tan. They just have me send them anyway, and tell me they will dye them. That is all I know. I know you can do seats, dashes, and door panels. I would check with a GOOD body shop in your area and find out what the hell they do to make it work.

Usually its not worth the trouble or the cost unless you know someone at the shop who can take care of it for you.

Ya I've seen em on ebay too, I just hate the whole bidding war thing. I wish someone would put a set of black leather for sale as buy it now. that would make my life so much easier. Tell your friends, I am willing to pay 550-600 shipped for a set of black leather camaro seats in excellent shape. THanks guys

Not all but some, the best one around here is 45 miles away, and I make the trip there about once every two weeks so that shows you the slim pickins. They had a set of black 96 leather for $875.00 They know what they have and they dont plan on selling it cheap. There are tons of yards in the city, but all their cars exposed to the elements, horrible, I couldnt find a single part to use on any parts car from one of those.

Anyway, I saw your post about stuff for sale the other day. I tried to access it a few times and it crashed my machine, lol. Still got some stuff for sale? Any good third gen parts? Thanks cowgirl
