I am wanting to dye my blue leather seat to black. Solid black, what is the best products you have to keep the color and resist wear? Also, how much product is needed to do two bucket seats and a rear bench seat?
Any of our automotive black leather dye will work. You will need an RCK liquid color kit and an extra 8 ounces of color. We recommend getting the HT high tac primer to improve adhesion qualities for your color change application.
Note: When color changing, prepping (cleaning) the leather is essential to great adhesion. Wet sand with the TC triclean prep cleaner so the leather becomes tacky. Then apply HT high tac primer, followed by color.
How long will the new finish or repair last?
In most cases and under normal use conditions, the repaired areas can be expected to last as
long as the surrounding leather. When you re-dye a leather driver’s seat due to wear damage, your new
finish is likely to wear at the same rate as the factory finish did.
Will leather dyes stain clothing?
Classic colors are a polyurethane water base coating. Once dried, the finish does not transfer to clothing. Wet clothing and water should be avoided until the color has thoroughly cured, approx. 24 hours.
