    Has anyone dyed leather seats?

    I recently had a leather seat back replaced and it's darker than the seat bottom. Has anyone dyed leather and vinyl trim? What did you use? I ordered some Startso World from amazon to try.

    there a lots of good yt vids out there - they look good. You might have to do the backs to get them to match though- chances of a close match are slim i would venture to say

    After doing some research, it looks to me as if some options include messy dyes, creams or paints. I think I'm going to try Color Bond LVP as it claims to penetrate leather and vinyl and won't come off. The nice thing about Color Bond is that as an OEM supplier they have specific color codes for GM, Ford, Chrysler as well as other manufacturers.

    Yes I have. A drop of hand sanitizer got on my gray leather seat and ate the color off. I cleaned the area really well but the spot got darker. I used a color match dye from LeatherWorldTech. I used a staining sponge to spread the dye and applied three coats. After the coats were evened out I finished off the seat with Gyeon Leather Shield.
