276ccm Report post Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Hi, what would you guys and girls use and have experience with when it comes to dye a leather seat.. and what finish would you use after, so the color wont transfer.. I guess the rider would be pleased not to have a skull on the ass after a ride.. :-) All tips, experience and tricks are welcome :-) Edited June 5, 2008 by 276ccm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abn Report post Posted June 27, 2008 Sometimes posts get overlooked, since there are so many of them on a daily basis. If you don't get a response soon, don't be shy about using the forum's private message functionality to send someone a direct inquiry. I'd take a look at some of the work in the Motorcycles and Biker Gear section and then send a p.m. to one of those folks. Hope you get the answers you're looking for!

singteck Report post Posted June 28, 2008 I am planning to do one as well but instead of bike seat, I am going to try car seat! Imagine the center portion with carving.......... still dreaming As for the dye, I am thinking of a coat of shellec to seal the dye in the leather and then a coat of clear acrylic over the top. Is that how it is done? This is if the seat is going to be black. At the moment, it's a grey seat so I probably have to airbrush grey acrylic to match the colour. singteck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
