Hi all i have full black leather seats with mtech stripes on them in my e30 convertible and want to either swap them for ox blood red leathers or is it possible to dye them red..? is there anybody on the fourm that can dye the leathers to red.? thank you all.

Something like this by any chance?

Very difficult to dye a fabric/leather to a lighter colour.
Much easier to start with a light colour,say beige or grey,and dye that red.
Why not look out for a set of seats in a light colour to dye,then sell your black set?

Hey i got a full set in beige colour in my cabby wanna swap?

It was very difficult to get an even colour over the entire seat of mine even though I was just bringing back the original colour. The colour was slightly darker to start with (the same as the headrest) obviously due to wear and dirt over the years...
