Leather dye for steering wheel?

[brettS4]

That looks amazing! What did you use to apply the ColorBond?

I had a 2000 Jetta with a steering wheel that looked about identical to the OP's Audi wheel, with similar issues. The car had almost 200k on it so I wasn't worried about messing anything up, and was pleasantly surprised that plain old satin black spray paint made it look like new, and held up for the 2 years I owned it. Sometimes you don't need to buy anything fancy to get great results.

Finally received my order of ColorBond in Porsche Black. I cleaned the wheel with a TSP substitute to strip off all prior conditioners before applying the ColorBond After three coats of ColorBond, waiting the 10 minutes between applications, I am very happy with the results as you can see in the before and after pictures. The leather cleaner/conditioner I used didn't take off the ColorBond, so I guess it really is bonded. The white sheen is reflection of my overhead garage light. The area is completely black and matches the rest of the wheel exactly.

That's awesome may have to look into that.

Since I was concerned about spraying black "paint" into my Porsche's interior I masked everything off with newspaper and tape. In the end over spray was not a problem, but too much masking is better than not enough. ColorBond appears and acts like spray paint and is applied in layers directly from the spray can one light mist at a time. I did about three to four passes then waited 10 minutes per the instructions to apply another three to four pass coat. In total I applied three separate layers.

I've had good success with the Leatherworld product. See this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...l#post11924901

A couple of years on and it is holding up well.

Following up on the staying power of the Colorbond. I am very happy with how this application is holding up. I may need to hit it with another layer once cooler weather arrives, but I could totally live with the slight imperfections that are peaking through now. Not mentioned in my earlier posts was that I also corrected the seat bolster for a similar issue and it is holding up even better than the wheel. I give Colorbond a high rating and I am glad I have a can.
