Mine is showing some wear and in parts the black dye has worn thru a little...whats the best way to get it black again?

thanks

Lee

 

I can sell you mine for, I dunno, $75. I pulled my knee bar when I installed my roll cage.

Oh, wait, you're in England. Might not be worth it to you.

 

Hi Mark

Thanks for the offer!! all depends on shipping...whats the cheapest way to send stuff to the UK? $75 sounds good to me!

 

Lee,

I think parcel post is probably the cheapest. If you're truly serious, shoot me a PM with your address.

 

Go to a motorcycle shop and get some black dye made by Auburn Leather Company. Made for saddlebags and jackets, and works great, with enough luster to make a good match. You can always add some leather conditioner afterwards to adjust the shine. You may be able to buy this direct from them.

Wish they made this product in gray!

 

Pete, thanks for the tip I'll try to find some here in the UK...if that does not do it i'm very interested in buying your lower dash rail Mark...give me a week to try to source some dye.

thanks again guys!

Do a search for "Surflex". Very good product. I changed my dash and several other interior pieces from blue to black.

 

Try www.colorplus.com
Great leather dyes at very good prices.

 

No problem, Lee. Good luck.

They will also custom match leather dyes though they have some basic Porsche colors.
Only caution on vinyl is to skip the step where you might use a solvent to "strip" leather of color. Solvent on vinyl is bad.

 

There are guys who dye leather if you can find one. I located one by speaking with a friendly parts guy at the local Porsche dealership. The guy he referred me to met me at a local Mercedes dealership and did the job. I had my shifter redyed and the driver's seat touched up. A craftsman can match the color to perfection then use a small air brush gun to shoot the color. You would be amazed or at least I was. Cost me $50.00 and was well worth it!
