Members Sawyer Posted March 29, 2008 Members Report Posted March 29, 2008 i got a chance to dye the seat while the camera stills works, this is the first coat, as i was amost done doing the second spray coat a dot of the dye dropped on the bulls arm. I'm freaking out now, hope to be able to repair or cover, i added a pic of the second coat of dye with dot rubbed away , but i now have a brown spot, any sugguestion for repairs or cover up Quote
Timd Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Something I've learned... Every time you look at that seat, that spot will be the only thing you see. Before you go any further, show your customer the seat. Make no mention of the spot, see what his reaction is. I can almost guarentee(?) he won't notice. It does blend pretty well, I had to look a second time to see it( guess I should read the text first...lol) But if you're not happy with it, nail it to the wall as a reminder, And start over(ugh!).

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 29, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 29, 2008 I think what to do here is to apply some resist to the area that is not "Mistake" and then re-dye the "mistake area, and have it blend in as a mussle shading, like Drac has said. Then I think the problem will go away. Ken Quote
Members Sawyer Posted March 30, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 i think it will be o.k., it seemed to have lightin up a might. i'm going to neatlac it and start lacing tomorrow! Here's a pic of the back of the seat panel also Quote
TomSwede Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 I agree with TimD about seeing the spots. I think it looks really great and on the last pic you posted it looks like the spot isn't that much of a prob anymore. Nice job with the colours schemes, it's definetly an eyecatcher. Tom Quote
Members Spider Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 Maybe hang your pieces next time you are spraying. To avoid the drip. I hate when that happens and ALL I see from that point on is a freak'n spot not the hole pic. Kinda like a zit on prom night or the driver's license pic. This looks to be coming out pretty good.

Members zman7458 Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 nice recovery, I think it looks great now. besides leather is never all one shade anyhow. Quote
