RickyZ Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 IMO of the colours chosen its got to be the white, but really black would be best on grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 white and champagn both look good, im really keen to see how this turns out if you go ahead with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge- Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Think I'm settled on a dark red, just something about old cars with red leather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Turko Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Has to be either white or red against the dolphin grey. Black would also work, and is the safe bet, but a little too boring for your car. The problem with Red is, you need to get the shade dead on. Too dark or too light and it'll look too out of place. Really liking the two tone idea.... makes it look like a high spec individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Turko Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 scrap what I just said, just seen your photochop of the dark red. That'll teach me for replying without reading the whole thread. Dark red looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge- Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm nicely set on deep red of some kind I think. Just something classier about it, old cars with red leather just works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorge- Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Pablo, Hi George, For some reason i didnt get a notification on your PM and was prompted my your message though the site. Sorry about this. Regarding changing colour. The grey leather in the e24, its not a dark grey., what i would call a meduim grey. So i would think that you can go lighter with no issues, darker is no problem at all. At the momment i dont have any cinnamon sample left to match a dye to, so im unable to provide this colour. The rest isnt a probelm. To change the colour you would need a slightly different type of dye, its just got the sealers seporate which you add on top of the colour you have applied it. The colour will stay tacky until the sealer is applied, but because its twice as concentrated, you only need to add half the amount meaning that you should not loose the grain look in the leather by applying to much which can happen with the standard dye. All colours will dye ok, if your going lighter then you will have to add more coats. Ive just dyed an BMW e9 rear armrest from dark blue to bmw e90 Cream beige and its come out great. I dont have colour charts as there are hundered of colour to choose from. Best to look around the internet to get an idea. Again, you can pick anything from the BMW page on our site, even an individual colour (as long as we have it) or look at a Ferrari colour or Porsche...up to you Depending on what colour you go for you could do with eitehr 1 litre (darker colours used less ) up to 1.5-2 litres for a light colour. Also the amount debends on how many layers you apply but i generally say 1 litre will cover most interiors but not a Rolls Royce size interior You can dye the headlining the same if its vinly yes 1 litre dye…the colour you want to change the seats too sealant… this applied on top of the colour to seal it or it will stay tacky 250ml cleaner… the seats need to be thoroughly clean before applying the dye 250ml conditioner …again, this will need to be added to soften the seat before the dye is added as it will not soak through the dye once applied 3 cleaning cloths…to be used for prepping the seats 1 scrubbing brush …again, for prepping the seats to remove all the ground in dirt… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suhail97 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Cinnamon or a darker tan colour is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 my worry is having the patience to actually do it properly. i guess I can do it all bar the front seats with no loss of car but once the drivers seat needs done the car is out of action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
