Could you post pics of the coats you applied? There was a post that seemed to mention pics after every coat 1-5 (or 6?).
How's the color match between the purchased coral seats and the dyed/painted parts? |

Like most paint jobs, do a sample before tacking a whole large visible object. More light coats are better than few heavy coats. I don't believe you can over dye it either... just let things dry out completely before sealing.
I've recently dyed an arm rest from grey to terra and it turned out great. |

Here's a bunch of pics that will give you a good idea of the results. The Leatherique colour is virtually identical to Coral Red.
The doors are the hardest part so if you find used ones in your colour that's even better. Avoid using tape as much as possible as it can easily peel the finish when you remove it. It's a time consuming process so expect it to take several weeks or months. Last edited by scanspeak; 09-02-2020 at 03:33 AM.. |

Continuing the awakening of your old thread. A couple of questions:
1. Can you remember how much rejuvinator oil, prestine clean and dye you bought to make this happen? 2. When you had your seats out (the fronts), did you lay them down as far as possible to help separate the top from the bottom (to keep the dye from sticking where the seatback touches the bottom seat cushion)? Or did you separate the top and bottom of the front seats? Thanks! Last edited by eaglecomm; 04-30-2021 at 01:19 PM.. |
