Thanks, I'll have more detailed pics once I get all of the items I want done. And yes, that white stuff on the front seats is parchment paper, I didnt' want to risk of the two surfaces touching each until they fully cure.

Thanks guys! More dye is on the way to complete the interior door panels.
Here is saddle brown in comparison. I'll try to get better shots as soon as I find a saddle brown to park next to in similar parking positions. I know under certain lighting, saddle brown can look similar to cinnamon, at least until you take a picture of a cinnamon interior in the same lighting, then you'll realize that cinnamon has more orange/carmel color to it while saddle brown as more brown/orange to the hue.

n/p, let me know if you have any other questions. You'll definitely want to use parchment paper on surfaces area's that can rub to avoid the dye rubbing off during the week long curing process. I kept mine on 2 weeks for good measure though.
someone do cora red!

OK - so I can dye the carpet and the leather - my issue is the dash / armrests which are tan coloured.. I would love to change my interior to oyster - can that be done? I'd change the carpet colour to black but would want the dash / leather to be oyster..

the finish is relatively matte as long as you use a fine mist with light coats from the GRACO gun. According to George @ leatherique, the finish should return to OEM-like matte with an application of rejuvinator oil, which I have yet to do because 3 weeks later, I'm not exactly done with it since I was busy around the holiday's. January will be the month I finish it up and photo shoot
