Leather repair and dye

[belcom]

Has anyone had good experience with any specific leather dye company? I need a perfect colour match for Imola red seats.

Colourlock is one of the best in the business. Their colors are spot on and they provide great support if you need it.

FWIW - you'll always get "ok" results doing it yourself because to do it right, you would need a spray gun to lay down uniformed coats and be able to feather it.

I am thinking of getting an airbrush. Will look into Colourlock. Thank you.

Confirmed. Colourlock colour is perfect match. Seat restored. I ended up using the included sponge to apply it instead of an airbrush. Although I did have the airbrush I decided not to experiment. Sizing of the product is a bit weird to say the least. You can either get 150ml or 1L. I would never use a litre of dye and 150ml seems on the lighter side to muck around with. That's the reason I chose not to use the airbrush. Nevertheless it worked out great I am happy with results. Used their leather protector a day later to seal the deal and its back in the car. Would use it again.
