Hey guys anyone know someone who Dyes interior leather? is it worth it? was planning on turning my saddle brown interior into Cinnamon since its so close in color i figured it wouldnt be a tough job since the change isnt so dramatic like going from black or gray to a cinnamon color. any info, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys

saddle brown

cinnamon

end result cinnamon

Nothing will beat OEM finish, your seats look great and the difference is so insignificant it's not worth the work and effort at the potential risk of screwing your seats up. If you still insist to do it, I have found that the best way is hands down an HVLP gun with an air compressor.

yeah ive seen it done with an air brush on youtube and it seems to come out better than with a regular brush much softer and no cracking or ugly brush stroke lines.

well i was trying to find someone professional who does it with an airbrush ive seen it done on youtube and it looks amazing. a brown to a red or a cinnamon should be simple but i choose cinnamon because its not too far from brown just more orangy looking so it shouldnt be too much work.

It's your car and it seems like you really want to do it, but your seats look really good as they are.

i guess you're right i guess ill wait and have them re finished in red some other time instead of dying it.
