Leather buckets

Post by 72Satellite440 » Mon Jul 12, 2010 1:26 am

Im definitly going to stay with my white leather buckets/rear bench, there not ripped or torn but just faded white that has turned a cream after so many years...The interior of the car will definitly be going black but im wondering if any of you have ever attempted black leather dye... either that or I can take the easy way out and get legendary covers.
any suggestions?

I've dyed a lot of things on interiors..but doing white leather seats to black would really probably be a continuing maintenance issue. Seats are such a high traffic area, so you'd really have to put it on thick. One scratch then white comes peeking through. But, if your gonna can 'em otherwise then...worth trying.

If you're talking about the original seat covers, they're vinyl not leather.
