| Hi all , It's been quite a while since I've posted on the forum and I thought I'd share with you what I did for 3 days straight over the Christmas Break. I decided to re-dye my wife's Soarer from Spruce to Black . The total cost was $230.00 for the dye's and so on....and the labour was courtesy of me ..The complete interior was gutted There a still a few things I need to tidy up but otherwise this stuff is strong and durable and so far so good...we shall see in six months. Here are the pics pic1

Thank Neil I used a product from a company called Birdsall Leather located in Botany NSW www.birdsall-leather.com.au. The kit they supplied includes 1) Laceol: This is a leather conditioner and cleaner which is first applied. 2) Leather Wash: This is solvent based but what makes this even better is that they apply a black pigment in the wash which really lets the black penetrate the leather ready for the final coat. 3)Leather Dye : First dabbed on then sprayed 4)Clear Leather Sealer. I used the leather wash on the vinyl parts of the car as well but fist tested it on a section to make sure the solvent wasn't to harsh...but it worked a treat. The only area that didn't take were the plastic door scuffsso I'm looking out for a set , otherwise the dash came out better than expected. |

There are plenty of colours to choose from , they will even match you existing colour if all you needed was to touch up , the choice is yours ... Joe |

| looks excellent mate, was it hard to remove the dash? Is there any info anywhere on removing it? I did a search on the archives with 85 pages of results most of which were references to blinky dash fixes etc. |
