I used leatherique to dye grey seats black. First attempt to dye after the prep was to use a brush. Results were less then perfect,... streaks and bubbles. I then sanded down the first couple of coats and applied the dye with an HVLP paint sprayer. With the sprayer you can`t tell the difference between the dyed seats and stock. If you do plan to dye, by all means spray it on its faster, and the results are perfect. I suppose even a $40.00 airbrush would work, but if you have a compressor go with a HVLP spray gun.

check out leather magic too- I think the same basic stuff as leatherique but in smaller quantities.. If you use an airbrush- get an external mix type- a paasche h should do it.. The leather magic kit comes with an atomizer.

Here`s my use of it on my audi--other thread..
