Dying cardinal seats

It won't come off but I'm not a fan of leatherique for color changes. Use sem color coat. Trust me its easier and cheaper.

I need to repair tears and wear on my cardinal seats, any success stories.

I am away from my computer, being lazy!

I have pearl beige seats so they are light seats. You think I could I use the leatherique crack filler, but use the SEM color coat to change the color? I was looking at carmine color.

Why are you not a fan of leatherique for color changes?

To the first question, yes you can.

The reason I don't like it for color changes is that it's too expensive and takes way too many coats to get it nice and even. If you can afford it, it is the best.

Here are some seats I dyed with sem. They hold up great, never scratch.

Would you know the amount of dye you need for a sport seat?

Or how many cans you need of SEM per seat? Plus I am looking for a red color dye, does SEM do custom colors?

Just to clarify, any of these "dyes" that come in a spray can are not actually dyes, they are paint. What this means is there is the potential over time for it to rub off and expose the original color underneath. Using actual leather dye will not do this as it soaks into the leather, not just sits on top. Using actual dye though is a much more involved process.

Made the jump and bought the dye. I will post up a thread when I find all the bolsters to replace and dye it all up!

So, to dye or not to dye, that is the question. Is it nobler too recover the seats or to patch rather than use a combo of dye and filler.
