Wow thats great. Did you use the filler? Or was that not needed?

Also,the second pic looks like the passenger side seat? Do you have an after pic of that?
Thanks.

I used the filler in one very localised part, it didn't really need it but I wanted to test it. All the photos are of the drivers seat. If using filler the supplied 1200 grit paper won't be enough.

Thanks bud. I purchased the kit earlier so I will have a go at it and post pics. I dont think the filler comes with the kit you mentioned so hopefully I wont need it

I have a question. Did you apply any filler in your application?

I have a kit and looking to have a go in a few days.

It's holding up really well, it's blended in nicely.

I'll get some pictures up soon.

I did use some filler, but it wasn't actually required (I wanted to test it). The filler is merely there if you need to fill any holes. The best thing you can do is buy extra 1200 grit sand sand paper. It's the sanding down part that payed dividends for me.

Thanks

Have you watched the video in their website? It's really that easy.

I was concerned on the sanding as well, but it just smoothed out the leather. The dye and lacquer do the rest.

I have, yep...
Unfortunately I'm not blessed with a whole lot of patience...
I've got some 1500 paper so might try that shortly... just do a bit at a time :)
