So I have been messing with water based leather dyes for some time now, gradually going a shade darker and darker each time.

If I dont like it in the long run I can always remove it back to the original - did that once early as I made a mess of applying part of it.

Still got all the gearbox area to do - a long term project !
I remove all the leatherwork from the car when doing it , so its an excuse to top up the bevel box etc at the same time smile
It takes a while to do to get it how you want it, but is good fun !?!


I saw it for the first time last year and again this year and I really like the effect you've got on the leather

You have certainly achieved the 'antique' look very well

I did notice it had gone bit darker from last year
