Leather Dye ...Suggestions...please

Hi
Looking to purchase automotive leather dye to correct some scuff marks on my DBS.
Color is "Dark Knight" and is not readily available unless I am missing something.
So far seatdoctors and autoleather dye seem to be the most trustworthy.
Any experience with either of these vendors or alternative suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
JH

Heya, I have a Dark Knight interior that needed a scratch in the back of the driver's seat fixed. Also had some water damage at the top of the driver's door card that caused the leather to peel a bit... Like you, I couldn't find the dye for it.

I ended up contacting Fibrenew ( fibrenew.com ), and their local rep came by to look at it, told me it could be repaired, redyed, and retextured. He color matched it on the spot with the toolkit in his vehicle and he was done the same day.

Very happy with the results.

Before + After:


Door card edge damaged

Door card repaired

Scratch in driver's seat back

repaired

trainwreck is an unknown quantity at this point
Try Colourlock. You can see my thread about my interior change. They’re based out of the uk but communication is slow. I believe they have a guy based out of Florida in the states also. Prices are reasonable. And I was highly satisfied with the dye.

Thanks both.
There is a Fibrenew local that I have contacted.
Will let you know how I make out.
Thanks,

Just to close the loop.
Fibrenew showed up as scheduled.
Similar to UltraMarine experience, although different franchise, color match on the spot and very happy with results.
Thanks,
JH
