[s-cars] [s-caars] seat restoration specialist?

[Tom Green]

Lee,

The platinum can be hard to match, especially after it has aged from  
UV light
and dirt.  I recommend the upholstery shop ask Larry Winkler at Miami  
corporation
to match a sample.  This is difficult because of lighting  
differences, etc on the leather,
but he matched my ecru seat to GM 2004 corvette nuance shale GL337  
which was an
outstanding match.

He will sell retail directly, but the upholstery shop should deal  
with them since there
is about a 100% markup in the upholstery business. Leather is usually  
sold by the
hide of 50 or more s.f. but sometimes have half hides available.
