has anyone here ever had any experience with dying any leather car parts such as a steering wheel...i know my friend brought it up to me that people doing car restorations having old car parts done and such, didnt know if someone here has had parts of their trucks done...

i ran across a leather wrapped steering wheel but its tan, not charcoal...just wanted to know if someone had any input on this...

 

everything that I have seen leather wise that someone has dye'd, seems to fade horribly over a short period of time. Maybe its just the way they did it, I'm not sure...

 

im dyeing a lot of my interior, but for my steering wheel I'm having it rewrapped, since you want a stock color I would wait to find one, pretty easy to find one IMO

 

i was wondering the same thing the other day about dyeing some seats... does anyone know what products to use? i wouldn't think if i were to dye a set of seats black from tan they would fade...

 

yeah thats what i was afraid of seeing that u use the wheel all the time...i was gonna be able to get the wheel for free but guess ill keep lookin...

 

If you dye a lighter color darker it works but not the other way around.

I did a tan interior with some good stuff from a body shop, and it worked great. Though it did turn a touch greyish afetr a bit it never got lighter.

I did it on a hot sunny day, and I clened everything down with grease remover and some acetone I believe.

 

what kinda of product did you use? was it costly?
