Did you order any leather dye? How did you specify the colour?
I'm thinking of ordering a treatment from liquid leather but they require samples of the colour to get a close match. I'm not keen on cutting swatch's out my seats so is there a BS number for the grey and yellow colours?

no I didnt order any in the end.......there was nothing wrong with my seats just colour fade but as surface applying the dye is an 'iffy' and only semi permanent this which the manufacturers of the dyes cant guarantee plus the fact that with the 'kits' and the fact I was needing 2 colours is was going to cost £200 and then the amatuer hand of me makeing a mess of it so Ive decided that I'll wait and go for the full interior retrim....I've got my quote...£680...thats seats, doors and gaiters.....although I think I'm gonna get the yellow carpet too and he can fit that lot while he's at it!!!
cheers
