this leather is so sensitive!

Hello,
anyone can suggest what to do with this leather paint chip on a brand new 991?

I see restoration products here but can't find luxor beige anywhere..
do these work anyway? which beige maybe closer to luxor?...

I'm guessing that you caught a metal pocket rivet on your jeans on the side bolster as you got in. You're going to have to change the way you get in & out.


You could always not fix it and tell everyone it was from a stiletto heel.

Couldn't you ask if that is covered under warranty? I will be upset if that happens. I always try to be carefully getting in and out, but sometimes things just catch.

It looks too far over to be an entry issue.

I would ask them if it's covered, but I had a 2007 that had the passenger seat belt rub against the air bag cover and mar the surface badly and they wouldn't cover it so good luck.

Natural leather is the same color all the way through. It's dyed, not painted.
