Hey their calicruiser,

Basically re-dying leather can be done, but its kinda like tinting windows. Its not really hard to d, but the more practice you have with it, the better the result. Its usually way better if you have another old leather seat or something to practice on before you try to tackle your seats to get a better feel for things.

If you want to, I can do a write up to walk you through the process. Let me know.

Also, just curious, where bout in Cali are you from?

Hey Guys,

I haven't forgotten bout these painting post's! Just been really busty on a couple of new projects and haven't had time to do some more write ups on this, and the bumper, and piller paint questions. It may still take me a couple of weeks to get caught up a bit, but I will answer back.

GO easy,

Candyman
