I have a small piece of a rear seat back that could use some touch up. It is about 6 inches by 2 inches. How costly and how difficult is it to do something like that? | ||

Leather is actually painted sort of dyed. like any paint work a new bit will allways look better than the rest and will never be invisible. So using a product like gliptone do the whole lot. you will find that the first piece of leather that you renovate will look so much better than the rest that you will want to do the rest. It is not a highly skilled job and if you can paint a household door without making a right dogs ear of a job then you should be able to do the leather, follow instruction to the letter. There are many other leather renovation kits on the market like Woolies ( not woolworths ) You may be able to do a temporay cover up job using suitable coloured boot polish. Note many kits suggest spraying but you can apply using a good quality piant brush THAT DOES NOT LEAVE BRISTLES-------Nothing worse than a paint brush bristle stuck in the middle of a painted surface.

My advice if you use a coloured type polish after it has settled use a gentle furniture polish. Best for that lasting finish is Pledge,works wonders if used every three to four weeks. |
