What was your process and what did you use? How long did that take?
|
I bought the Leatherique system.
1) stripped all old color off with, acetone and laquer thinner. 2) Put on 2 really thick coats of their Leather rejuvinator oil. Let sink in for 4 or 5 days. 3) Wiped seats/panels down with their surface prep solution. Let dry for a day or 2. 4) Wiped seats/panels down with alcohol to further remove any oil on surface. 5) rubbed DYE in with an old soft T-shirt, 2 coats. 6) final Dye was applied with an Airbrush which gives it a uniform/Matte finish. If you do it right and follow directions it will take a few weeks at least. Total cost to me $160 for Leatherique products, ($40-$50 bag of rags, acetone, laquer thinner, masking tape, 400-600 grit sandpaper), $100 or less for compressor/airbrush kit. In my opinion Airbrush is a MUST!! |
An incredible result - looks like new!

I've seen similar threads with equally great results. It still amazes me everytime how well this works if you do it right. Good job!
|
that is amazing. great job.. How does the cracking get filled in?
|
Very nice! Your hard work paid off!
|
Looks great, really nice job. Any plans for the black piping?
|
They look great, excellent job!

Yes, Leatherique is the best. At the start of each summer I treat the leather seats with Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and it stays ultra soft and supple for another year (the trick is to cover the seats with a plastic garbage bag and let the seats "cook" in the summer heat for 24 - 48 hours).
The Leatherique "Crack Filler" product is probably what he used to fill the cracks. |
Amazing! If you were selling this stuff I would say those were doctored pics. How does it work if your changing color?

That is an awesome job...does it come off on clothing or run when the weather gets hot enough?

My interior was changed from light gray to black. The seats are factory porsche black but the panels were spray dyed. I want to strip them and redo them right. Will this stuff work as good on panels?
