These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone have any experience using Leather paint/dye to Two-Tone interior seats? I'd love to add a silver insert on the seats, but dont want it to look like a pre-schooler did it. Any experience thoughts appreciated. Thinking of using something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CBD-164-Dye-Paint-Leather-Plastic-and-Vinyl-Refinisher_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ50450QQihZ01 1QQitemZ320174385772QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

POST 2Original post

I have not seen that used, but I would be very skeptical about it's results.

POST 3Original post

I'm not sure it's worth the risk. It could turn into a big mess. Or turn out good at first and then later on start to crack. Just buy some 2-tone seats on e-bay if you want that style so bad. They are out there. By the way, that paint is also sold through J.C.Whitney automotive.

BlackONblack, call JoAnne at www.colorplus.com . She may offer you some advice.

Here is the link, there is a customer review on there and it does sound rather promising. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-Browse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2010283/p-2010283/N-111+10202+600016873/c-10102

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, This look kinda promising

POST 7Original post

... but I used Leather Magic instead. Initially I wanted just to repair wear and scuff marks and later it turned into a whole two-toning project. My car was originally Graphite Gray leather, now, look for yourself... Happy Boxstering, Pedro

POST 8Original post

I have an extra set of Savannah Beige seats that I would give to someone for just shipping, the drivers seat as 150k miles on it and has a rip in the seat portion the passenger seat has a few scuffs but is perfect otherwise. If someone wants to test these let me know. As I said they are free just pay shipping.
