Question: Use of Interior Dye on Leather Seats ??

[91-Vetteman]

Started 2008 winter project this weekend, a complete renovation of my interior. My leather seats are in very good shape, but do look about 25 years old. I am dying some interior replacement pieces (kick panels, armrests, & trim) with a red dye purchased from a major Corvette vendor. It may be on the can or shipping box, but can you give the leather seats a coat with this dye to freshen them up ? Thanx in advance !!

Yes, but your upholstery has to be extremely clean for good adhesion. Stock leather Corvettes seats have a clear protectorant on them which you have to remove.
