2 tone seats anyone?

[dbv8]

I will be doing a refurb on my tired leather soon using furniture clinic kit.
I have 500 ml of TVR magnolia and matched dark blue.

I want to recolour the centre section outer bolsters dark blue but am considering doing a 2 tone effect on the seats. ie Dark blue cente with magnolia outer.

Has anyone done similar? Any pics?

I was thinking about doing this when recolouring mine with the FC kit.
Just will take patience to mask everything off properly, carefully sponging on the first coats so it doesn't run. Don't think it will make the job much harder although I was just a bit too lazy in the end

Are you doing the seats you've got in at the moment? Saw it at Chatsworth and noticed the cracks on bolsters but should fix up fine.
Really work on those to get the top coat off, you use the solvent and first seat I did I took ages making sure i'd got right into the cracks and it looked mint afterwards.
Then when doing drivers seat I didn't do as well, paint reacted and cracks showed straight away, couldn't be arsed to do it again so might get round to it later in the year

Think it is possible Derek but it'll be difficult to get a decent 'line' between the two colours.
I only attempted it on my door cards as there is a pretty deep crease between the two bits of vinyl that allowed for good masking off of the area.
If it is not masked perfectly the paint can run under the tape into the other colour (I had to re-do one of my joints).
