W124 cream leather interior..

[lukather]

I remember seeing an article with someone who had refurbished the leather interior. I've had a colour kit made up ...

Just wondering what experience you have had and what approach?

better to take front seats out?

I have ruched leather panel?

any help much appreciated..

thanks

Is it better to take the door panles off?

Should i do the vented parts of the seat?

thanks

If you're planning to do large areas I don't think it's a DIY job. You need to spray the colour to get a good finish. My local guy repaints seats using a bodyshop-style paint spraying setup and the results are great

Try one bit by hand and see how you get on. You can always lift the colour off again with thinners

thanks Nick

So in theory... i should do the bulk of the seats not the vented seating area? I have enough to do the full interior front seats passengers would there not be a colour difference between seats and door panels

Should I then just leave the ruched cards alone and just clean?

thanks

My absolute rule with interiors is to not pick a fight with them. Do the very minimum, use the least product possible and don't try to make it look "new". If you do, the "new" part will make the rest of the interior look "old"...
