does anyone know a place in the north east who does this kind of thing i just been to a leather dude and he doesnt recolour he just replaces and wanted 200 english pounds of my hard earned cash for the (wing panel) side part which is worn. i left in quite a hurry befor the credit card came out haha
so any light or pointing in the right direction to a dyeing place would be great as im noo good with a airbrush so cannot do it myself
mine were worn pretty bad on the side and i re dyed them myself.it was so easy.took a bit of time because you need to let each coat dry but saved hundreds.
check out my project thread..i think its called smileys 840ci project thread or something.
got the stuff form ebay from a company called dynamixes.
impressive stuff. i think ill give that a go with mine. i have the not so nice looking creamy orange gear in mine haha off to bmw to find out what colour it is then order some of that gear up
cheers mate
if the leather is looking a bit worn and not completely gone then the dynamix is good stuff..covers the worn parts really well and the colours is good match:thumbsup
dynamixs can match your cars colour exactly...they have all the bmw colour codes.
i did my whole seat because it needed it but if you were just doing the bulster i would do both left and right bulsters then it would look fine.
Sam yes fill it and will get rid of most of the cracks. apply generius amount of filler and then fine sand back until really smoth then apply the dye:thumbsup
Without filling will still look very good as the part thats worn will be back to colour but the cracks will still be there
i ordered my dye today after finding out from the dealer what baige i have, there are about 6 lol
will post pics when its done
