My silver soarer has spruce leather seats and while the seats are not torn the surface of the leather has cracks that are not coloured. Is there a product available to re-colour the seats?

I have seen a leather seat restore on ebay:

Has anyone tried recolouring their leather seats?

Hi Mark,
I want to keep the original colour, improve the look of the seats by going over them with the original dye to hide the wear marks.

Any one done this?

Hi Jan, i have some spruce leather seats i'm pulling apart.. you can have the leather covers once i'm done if you want them as a backup.

I'm planning to fit my black cloth fabric over the spruce leather seat internals.. i'm going for full luxury spec JZZ30.. heated seats to keep me warm during the cold Ballarat winters :-)

I bought spruce colour from a site on ebay USA. I used a fine tip brush to put the colour in the cracks and wiped the excess off with a damp cloth. Seat look 100% better.

Thanks Jan, i'll give it a go. I bought a kit as well. My leather seats are in pretty good condition, however they just need the touch up on the usual drivers side seat wear. Thanks for the link
