[urq] Seat Dye

[SpotatAshleys]

About 18 years ago I changed the colour of the leather seats on my 1963
Daimler V8 from a rather tired looking and grim grey to red using a product
called VinylKote. I'm not sure if it still exists (I think it does because
I've just done a google search) but the seats are still a glorious red and
have aged well now looking like old red seats. It was easy to do and has
lasted well. If your leather is not as supple as it was use Connolly Hide
Food - it's the best at reviving tired leather but I'm not sure how this
goes with Vinylkote - you may have to colour the seats before applying hide
food or it may affect the adhsion of the vinylkote.It will say in the
vinylkote instructions anyway.
Hope this helps
