Leather Faded

[spiderdood]

I have some leather seats that are quite faded by the sun. They are well worn in which I don't mind at all-in fact I prefer that used look. It's just that the leather looks almost beige in it's more exposed parts and I want to dye/color it back to it's original darker color. Does anyone know any DIY systems or products to do such a thing?
Thanks

You could try SEM Classic Coat spray.

Colourlock is a very good product and also very easy to apply (no sprays or that stuff). Just with a sponge. Colour has all the products you will need, from cleaners, leather softener for those areas that have been exposed to sunlight causing them to dry and fade, to protective layer lotion (anti wear). It's a German product and the colour will be made to match your upholstery. You will need to send a small piece of leather from under the seat not exposed to the sun (1cm2 is enough).

I have also heard of good results with Leatherique, but this was for black leather in a F-car. Assuming a good color match for the tan interior, I may try this on my '91 Spider.
