hi ,like all camaro owners with leather interior mine is discolored on the driverside front seat. My ? is has anyone ever tryed to look into dying that part that is worn a little, or do you have no choice and have to get a new seat cover?

 

it would be cheaper to get a new seat out of a junkyard....

 

I've used shoe polish with great success, mine isn't worn to bad, but it covered it up real good, I can't really tell even wtih the top down. The cost of fixing it is around 70-150 bucks, so for 2.50 you can't go wrong, over time mine seems to need more polish, but only takes a second to apply. When I'm not so lazy I'll take some pics.

 

i have dark charcoal interior so what shoe polish did you use or do you have black as an interior?

 

I have used the leather dye that summit sells. I think it's made by VHT. They have 2 shades of gray if I recall, light and dark. The light was really light, we used the darker shade.

We did an entire interior and for the most part it held up as well as could be expected. It was very easy to work with. It wears off eventually on the high wear areas but it's easy enough to re-apply.

edit: The dye.

you need a couple cans of SEM base coat for leatehr and vynil.

9.99 a can and it can be bought in any color at any painter suplly store.


its like a flexdible paint, non pourus so it can be cleaned. helps take care of cracking seats!!!

 

I use a product called "Deerskin Touch up" by Dr Minor.
Its a solid dye for leather products. Uses states: nicks, cuts, srcapes, scuffs. Like a shoe polish the way you apply it but its a
tanery dye that lasts!
You'll have to go to a old school shoe repair shop to get it.
That spray vht stuff would work for color changes but if you have
graphic leather get the "deerskin" tone.
