Just finished re-dyeing the seat for my m roadster and thought I would post some progress photos as I plan on doing the coupe seats next
When I purchased the roadster someone had re trimmed the front seats with a different leather that was not to my taste so I purchased a second hand set to do a make over on. The car came with full black interior from the factory
I first stripped the seats to change the seat belt guides as they were broken these cost 15.26 from BMW and it was quite a simple job.
Seats pre work
I first sanded whole seat with extra fine sanding pad
I then filled all worn areas with putty filler this was rubbed down with 1200 guage paper and wash in leather wash
The dye was applied using a sponge and was given four coats the the satin finish was given three coats using a air brush ,this takes a full seven days to fully cure and after this period I will treat the leather with leather feed to make extra soft and add even more protection
