Hit a major snag but it's on the way to completion. Turns out the LeatherworldTech dye I was using was horrible. I applied nearly 10 coats on every surface and black STILL showed through, and then I ran out of the 32oz. bottle which I was told would be plenty. I called up Robert @ Leatherique Canada, and he mixed a proper bottle of Imola Red for me within the hour to pick up. The difference is HUGE. On the test sample, my old dye took 7 coats to cover original leather and looked very pale and pink. His mix was true to BMW's Imola Red with just two coats and had a perfect low-gloss sheen to it just like new leather from BMW. I should've bought from him in the first place... Should be done by Friday!

Julian, you're in luck. I actually bought a 16oz black dye repair kit including crack filler for my bolsters two years ago and still have it. If you want it, PM me and we'll talk.

Here you go you little punk.
Edit: Link fail.
Almost done! Just adding finishing touches in seams and hard to reach areas, and then it's gonna cure for a few days.

Agreed! I just gotta make sure the Rejuvenator/care products will still be safe to apply in the future.
