Leather lacquer (sealant):
http://www.buffaloleather.co.uk/leat...er-sealant.htm this is a matt but has an ever so slight sheen to it.

https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Le...nt_Aerosol.php this one may be the same as above, or it may be a pure matt (I haven't tried it). Personally I apply a water based PU lacquer on top of the above solvent one from Buffalo - for that pure matt dull finish that looks best, but you can only buy it trade which is why it may be worth trying this one...

Leather dye:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leather-dy...cnsO8didWNpxww I don't know what his 'dyes' are like (it's a pigment colour i.e. leather paint, as opposed to a dye, even he gets it wrong but that's ok ). Alternatively if you can get a sample of the leather and send it to either Buffalo Leather or Furniture Clinic they will match it 100% and send back the pigment in a bottle (it can be a small piece). They are very helpful over the phone.

Micro roller (2"), Tray & Handle:
https://www.trade1st.co.uk/paint-rol...ers-2-2-5-inch blue ones are best!

Like all leather repairs, do light coats - not heavy ones. Let us know how you get on.

Kev

p.s. to have a genuine leather smell, simply spray this onto your car mats: (it's awsome stuff)

Hi Kev,

was thrilled by Stubis leather color!
Can you also offer small color bottles for Rover75 (smokestone and NeptunBlueblue) which fit well in color?

Greetings

I’m sorry but I don’t offer any coloured pigment - I’m not a trader either, just an enthusiast.

Regards

Some of the advice here seems very complicated. I just sponged it on, didn't bother cleaning blah blah etc and it looked perfect. Colour change too from cream to grey. Took all of about an hour tops. Warm sunny day. Never touched it up afterwards
