Have been waiting for my dying kit to arrive from liquid leather and i have a few days off and it arrived aptly this morning.
Removed the seats and stripped them to there bare bones and had a blast at dying.
Its been a long day cleaning, filling, masking and dying.
As i wanted two colours most of the time was taken masking have one completed and one one colour done on the second.

Thanks Tony. will certainly give the zed a different look as said really pleased with the results. Will finish the other seat tomorrow and get the heated seat wiring located and then finish off the door cards.
 
Wow! I like the two tone colours. I'll bet they're even nicer in person! Nicely done @Antm72 can't wait to see the completed project. JIM

Must admit neither was i a few years ago i wouldn't have touched a car with a tan /beige interior used to think is an old colour.
Must be my age i think getting old too!
Wanted something very close to the original the dark is more or less spot on for the original colour and the light is oregon beige which again is the stock colour for the car although its light but i think after 18 years it may have darkened.
 
That looks brilliant Ant, bet you're well pleased:thumbsup:

Lol yeah home alone but i did do them in the garage but as its water based i wanted some where warm for them over night.
I did dye the other seat in there this morning but its all by hand but im back in the garage having just finished up the door cards.
 
I have dye enough for bolsters etc and i have 250 ml of Sand beige im not gonna use at all it looks very similar and is one of the colours listed for the car but decided on dark beige and oregan beige.
Your welcome to it if you can use it @Grumpy .:thumbsup:
As an odea 250ml has dyed the door card centres the gaiters arm rest and the seat centres and i still have some left so it goes a fair way even further if you spray it as it gets watered down but coverage is great.
