Blue Leather Dye - Help Sourcing

[tedj]

Hi all

Just a quick one. I have to do some touching up of the leather seats and around the handbrake and was wondering where I can get some of the blue dye from? Oh mine has the navy blue leather interior.

Many thanks

Well there is a company on fleabay who sell a dye - more like a shoe polish for polishing in the cracks.
This is what I bought and has the sellers details:

The other product I have tried is actually a spray paint. If you take you time, results are excellent. For about £50 you get supplied with paint, sealer, cleaner and an airbrush (which comes in handy for other stuff too).

Excellent. Thanks for this. I will order some of the tinted polish and give it a go.

Try a google search for Liquid Leather or Scuff Master. You supply a small bit of the colour and they'll match it with a leather dye.

LTT Solutions are the people to talk to, they are very good and belong to the Association of Master Upholsterers. (www.ltsolutions.net)

Might well be worth trying Gliptone or Croftgate - always used them for classic .

Good luck

Yes, sorry chaps, just noticed my post was not complete - one of the unfortunate side efects of being stupid!

I meant to say that I have used both products on a range of classic Jaguars over the years and they do transform worn or tired sections of leather and even vinyl if required.

Colour match, if a sample is sent to them, is excellent as well.

Last contact number I had for Croftgate was 01706 216096.

Guys

I have ordered the one from furniture clinic and it should be here within the next couple of days. Thanks for all of your help.

Ok, ordered the coloured dye cream from furniture clinic and it arrived this morning (2 days). Not much to say except it works. I had a couple of cracks on the lumbar support on the drivers seat and thie seems to have sorted them. When I get time I will try it on a couple of other places on the seats. For the £14 I thing it is a bargain.

Can you get some before and after pictures so we can see it?
