When I did my first coat of dye it didn't cover up anything....I was a bit scared that I had actually ruined my seats. BUt around coat 3 it really started to look good. I have 6 coats on them BTW , I misread the directions (They are not very good BTW) and was only allowing 20 min between coats of dye, you need 4 hours before recoating. My last 3 coats had 4 to 6 hours between. Lots of sanding after the filler so it blends smooth......I sure hope the stuff is really there for good.

The finished results of the seats and re-dying the carpet

Pdwight,

I like the two tone leather of your seats. Did you dye both the center portions and the outer portions of your seats? What did you do to prevent an accidental colorization of the wrong part?
