Default Leather seat dye

Had my seats re-upholstered a couple of years ago. Looks like I've rubbed some of the dark blue color off (very old, wide rump). Just need to do some touchup. Any suggestions out there?

I recommend them highly. I have re-dyed every pc of leather or vinyl in my 79 using their products.

I bought their scuff master kit (about $22 US). It worked great and has really held up well.

I have used ColorPlus exclusively to color match my GTS's dye to sample and my 87's burgundy interior. Good folks.

+1 for Leatherique. I used it and it brought my interior back to life. I haven't used ColorPlus, but if I recall correctly they do give you more product for your dollar compared to Leatherique.

I've used both Leatherique and Color Plus products over the past 10 years. Ended up liking the product from Color Plus a lot more than the Leatherique ones.

I just bought a qt of custom color and a pint of MB Palomino from Color Plus and I love the way it goes on and stays on. I'm using the qt to change colors on a full set of supple leather seats from champagne to a 'buckskin' or saddle leather color. Three very thin coats and they look great. Palomino is for the leather on an Eames chair I've had for 40 years. Changing color very slightly there as well.

Used about 1 1/2 pts to do the front and rear seats of my '94 seven years ago. 25K miles later, they all still look like new.

IF you choose Color Plus, let her know Gary Knox recommended it - she will treat you right.

Based on relative costs only, it looks like duron paint would be the choice. Is this the same stuff as one would use to paint the walls in their house? Hard to believe but I'm so cheap I'm intrigued.
