Default Leatherworld seat repair

Just finished repair on driver side seat bolster with Leatherworld kit. Had about an inch long cut and many cracks, used their filler and then dyed the bolster. Very satisfied with the repair but couldnt quite match the color to my Savannah Beige seat. I used their color match kit and after using almost all of the dye trying to match the rest of the seat I had to give up and leave the repaired bolster a bit lighter. Still pretty happy with the repair.

very nice congrats. Give it time to fade to match. Did you give you seats a good scrub with a degreaser?

Yes, used laquer thinner, soap and water and then leatherworld supplied cleaner. Appication of dye came out very well as did the actual leather repair. As you suggested im hoping the color will darken in time.

Nice! It looks like you did a great job...Your seat does look quite dark/soiled. Give it some time and it should even out nicely. The Leatherworld stuff is really pretty amazing.
