Before and After Photos of Interior Re-Dye?
Anyone out there redyed their interiors pieces because they were faded or they wanted another color? Have some red interior pieces that are somewhat mismatched in color meaning rear seats look red , front seats look faded (burgundy color) seeing if anyone has any success with re-dye on interior pieces.

The basics: "dye" is actually paint, whoever it comes from. You can't redye leather unless you're good friends with the cow. A huge amount of the success of re-"painting" leather depends on the efficacy of the surface preparation, just as is true with any kind of autobody painting. You're way better off re-dying red to red, rather than white to black or green to blue.
That's the extremely short answer. Stephan
