Leather dye

Does anyone know where I can buy some leather paint, I have a small scratch on one of my seats that would be fixed by just slapping some paint on it, but I cannot find anywhere online what the correct color code is or where I can buy it, any ideas? See pic below for my interior color.

I went to a shoe repair shop and found a color that was close. Mixed in another color to get a closer match.

bespoke leather dye kit on ebay, look for the one from the UK. I used it and worked well. Dilute dye 50/50 with water, use sponge or foam to apply, ensure even coverage.

It comes with a light and dark toner to adjust the base colour, as the leather is old you almost always need to add a bit of white to lighten the colour.

There colours are matched to porsche colours they have every interior colour. Has built in sealant so wont rub off on clothes or hands.

Try "World Upholstery" out in California. They sell leather dye in spray cans in all the Porsche colors. In fact, they'll send you out a sample leather swatch if you ask.

Your repair won't take much, but at least you'll have what's left over in the can for future touch-ups. I've used their stuff in the past with great success.
