Seat refurbishment

[SwanJack]

My seats need to be spruced up and I'm going to use the Furniture Clinic kit. I've spoken to them and they don't have any TVR codes for magnolia, but they said that they might have matched the colour before, but would not have registered it in their database as a TVR colour. Has anyone ordered a kit from them for magnolia, as from the code on the supplied kit they can make up the same colour from that! Cheers !

Furniture Clinics kits are made by Nuera in Wigston Leicester.

If you send a swatch to match to FC they will send it to Nuera who use a very experienced man using eyeball V1.0 to match your swatch and then make up and send the product back to FC in an unlabelled bottle.

FC will add their label and 50% to the price and ship it to you.

Alternatively contact Nuera direct : http://www.nueraproducts.co.uk/

If you want a better finish than the water based colourant that FC will supply, ask Nuera for the spirit based colourant and sealer.

I have no connection to Nuera other than a satisfied customer.

Forum gold like this is brilliant. Thanks

I did the furniture clinic route - they gave me the same answer.
I sent a sample from under a seat and resprayed the whole interior - very happy with the results

You can see the results here on this thread.

Have a look at the foam and wires under the seats when they are out. If the wire is broken replace and if cutting into the foam, a rubber footwell mat between the wires and the foam works wonders

Yes, the rubber mat between the wires and foam transformed my seats from OK to comfortable enough for 3 Euro trips in comfort.

I sent Furniture Clinics a small offcut to match the blue leather trim on my SEAC. Match was perfect and kit with air brush was so easy to use. Well impressed.

Furniture clinic were great for me.

My interior went from this:


To this:

Thats good value! Can I ask how long did it take them?

[p4cks]

Thanks. Think it took them a week or so from memory

I'm surprised FC don't have the colour on file as there's plenty of reference to them supplying the colour across the various forums.
I've just ordered some from Gliptone who do hold the colour on file. If you have issues, may be worth trying them (they did have a 30% deal on, but you need to order from the new Gliptone website rather than the original Liquid Leather).
Both companies are well respected.

Also, good advice regards the rubber mat under the seat between the foam and metal framework!!

The only place that may have it on file is Nuera as they produce the colourants for FC and probably Gliptone as well.

Gliptone had magnolia on file for me, but I had to send them a swab for the Biscuit.
