Leather dye

[Jasandjules]

The colour in the car really annoys me, looks too yellow... Has anyone ever used a leather dye kit to change the colour of the interior? If so, what kit did you use? I want all the leather, dash, seats, the lot changed...

Furniture Clinic is the go-to for recolouring.

It’s a slippery slope once you start pondering a new colour interior

Furniture Clinic
Used it several times and works well. Works on leather and vinyl (I believe some cars have vinyl backing to the seats).
There are cheaper but this works.

Furniture clinic ….. repainted my interior a few years ago.
Still pleased with the results.
Didnt change colours though !

Furniture clinic too, went from magnolia with holes in it to black. Their filler kit works magic, can't see any of the tears that I filled in. Buy a cheap artwork compressor if you don't have any air at home, wouldn't want to do more than a door card with the spray cans.

Another vote for Furniture Clinic from me too. I could never get on with the turd brown leather in my car so I got them to repaint in a nicer colour





Total cost at FC was £700

Another recommendation for Furniture Clinic.

Hire one of their compressors and they'll give you a discount on the kit because you don't need the pressure cans, and the compressor gives a much better result. It's a one of hire charge for as long as you want it too

If you can really be arsed to shop around, I bought isopropyl alcohol from Amazon and engine degreaser strips back the leather finish as well as the leather prep bottle that they sell. I'd only buy the dye and finish from them if I did it again.

100% use a little airbrush compressor though. I think one can of gas lasted me one door card and was a nightmare to use because the pressure changes. The gas freezes and it just starts spitting water. Could use a can for 30 seconds, then put it back in a warm bucket of water and grab the next can, then swap again.

Did you change the black seats to red? I have a black steering wheel and would like it red but thought it wouldn't be possible.

I've used yrg the one easy dye to change colour on some sidi motorcycle boots, was easy enough

Well that seems like a huge split of opinions there...... I shall check out Furniture Clinic then, thanks very much...

Oh that's something I ran out of doing mine. Theres a little bottle hardener or something that you mix with the top coat but the amount they supplied wasn't comparable with the bottle of finish so I had to buy another bottle of hardener and pay the postage which was annoying.
