It's a good, economic solution but you have to remember it is NOT dye (despite any literature/advice)

It is only PAINT, so as a consequence it will wear off & crack in time. It also seals the leather surfaces so any hide food or cream cannot moisten or feed the leather & it will dry out from the reverse side. This is why painted leather is more prone to cracking like death valley.
Paint is the beginning of the end for any leather.

I think they look great! Not a bad price either. Are you going to have them redone in a lighter color?

Well, the colour doesn’t really match.
It’s more of a sea grey.

Honestly, my next step will be new covers.

The colour on the redying of my seats that the local chap did was not great. Plus new tears in the leather started across the bolster.

Soooo...off to Lee Pattison my seats went!!
And I had them back before Crimbo - and fitted them today......

I don’t need to tell you all how good Lee’s work is, but just to be sure...... it is truly amazing.
Here are mine installed:

And a comparison with my original seat covers
(Before the redying)

Lee is a perfectionist and is the best value for money when getting your seats done. Honestly, do not go anywhere else, don’t try to restore, just get it done right the first time.

Lee even cleaned up the black metal components for me and redyed the vinyl seat backs to match.

They look good. Just one thing though, are you sure that picture is of them ‘installed’ & not fitted?
