i have a pair of tan leather seats laying around. it looks like someone tried to paint them black. at this point i have nothing to lose. the seats were 40 bucks. the leather is good but the color sux. any help would be great. thanks..........and no im not throwing them away.lol

 

Im pretty sure your out of luck dude. why would you buy them if you didnt like them

 

for 40 bucks it was worth it. im sure there are leather dyes out there that would do wonders. the seats are flawless. if not, oh well. 40 bucks is not alot. thought it would make a cool diy. thanks

 

lol how are the seats flawless if you dont like how they look

 

the leather is flawless. like i said i thought it would make a cool diy write up. the 40 bucks is nothing. thats one overtime hour.lol thanks for the bump ip racing

 

Cmon interior guys! help this man i would like to know as well

 

go to any autobody shop and ask for black leather dye. if they dont have it try a furniture store.

dont use a coating, use a dye.

 

Go to your nearest automotive paint jobber. There is a product by SEM especially for what you are wanting. I can't remember the exact name. It comes in both rattle can and sprayable quarts for use with a paint gun. I used the sprayable dye with a paint gun. It was inexpensive and turned out beautifully. Go to http://www.swegyptian.com to see the results. I dyed his entire interior except the seats (he has racing buckets) and it's holding up very well. It should work on the seats just fine.

A guy I know also used it to dye the center portions of his leather seats in his Vette and it's held up for over three years no problems.

 

i know this one fool that spray painted the rear seats black..wouldnt trust sittin in it though.
