Hi - the leather colour on my car is "patchy" to say the best. Not worn or frayed, but just faded differently in different areas. I remember someone on here posting before about some guys who do a recoluring (spraying ?) service with the trim in situ... can anyone help ?

dips has done it on dash boards, but leather can be tricky as its dependant on condition.
colour match is an other issue as well paul

Hi mate - what on earth are you doing up at this time !!! My excuse is I'm working 
Thought matching would be a problem so was planning to have all the interior done. Its a two seater sports (lots of trouble usually serious) with aftermarket seats so I just need dash, pillars and doors cards and console doing then they should all be the same - doesnt matter if seats aren't 100% as they are out of something else and have alcantara centres anyways

(PS Just about forgiven you for withdrawing that turbo set up from sale !!)

the colours can be matched up mate . its not a problem, just need a sample from your interior to match it up to. as for me being up late, i just got in from work !!
as for the turbo set up, it could possiblt still be for sales, best talked about properly over a coffe in all honesty if you are serious
