Yeah I know this seems weird. I have a black HD solo spring seat. I'm now wishing I had gone with the brown one!
You think one of those re dyeing kits would work? Or am I better off just selling this one and buying the brown one?
What's wrong with the weathered look ?
In either case, I would recommend you buy a vinyl one next time; in my books leather and bikes don't mix unless you've got a show bike that just gets trailered to shows.
Well, I decided to go against better judgement on this one. After speaking to a place called PPC in Warriewood who specialize in this type of thing, they said there is no reason why re dying leather should ruin it. So, picked up some 600 grit sandpaper, some Leatherique Prep Agent and custom brown dye, and here's the result.
I might do a couple more coats still. Or, may sand it back a bit to give it that worn in look. Although my fat ass will give it the worn in look rather quickly.
Before on left...after on right..
Place is called Permanent Painted Coatings in Warriewood. Guy who owns it is named Rob. Awesome guy to deal with. Walked me through the whole process of what needs to be done.
Here's the list of products. The dye is the Custom Colour Dye.
