    Lightbulb I use red touch up paint...

    My drivers seat began to show some wear back in 2002. I used a little red touch up paint on the worn areas. The paint bonded the leather fibers and restored the color. I haven't had a problem since and it's been nearly 4 years without need for reapplication. Trick is not to use too much, just enough to fill in to the edges without overlapping and you should be fine

    Just had the local car dealers' leather repair guy over to work on my wife's '99. He did a magnificent job but it took him almost four hours to repair a couple small areas and dye them back. It also cost $150.00. He used a wide range of different products to acheive the desired color effect. He's a true pro. I'd guess most areas have such a specialist. Ask a local dealer or detailer who they use. Just a suggestion.
