Default Dying Leather?

Hermione's got the Turbo S black and grey leather interior. I want to dye the grey leather inset (and possibly the grey vinyl door insets and armrest) a light pink. Has anyone had this done? I know of a local upholstery place so I'd have it done professionally.

Cool

OH! You're talking about "dyeing leather". It's been so hot around here that "dying leather" isn't very far-fetched...

Did I mis-spell it? Bwahahahahahha!!!

It's cool in VA today, 83 or so and rainy. Bad Hair Day. Yesterday I was so scuzzy from washing Hermione, I needed my own car wash!

Well, ive seen spray paint at auto parts stores that are used on leather or cloth....I would imagine it would be diffivult to find pink though.

Or maybe you want to contact Shonnel (Evilina). I'm sure that if she hasn't done so already, that she's been thinkin' about it...

They're great. Contact them. They can make you a dye to match any color you wish, and will help you get started.
