Default Leather Dye - Cost increasing

Unbelievably the cost for posting bottles of Leather Dye will almost double at the end of April with the Post Office price increases.
Changing from £1.33 for single bottle to £2.20.

update As from the 1st April 2013 1st class small parcel is £3

So get you order in now

Delivery by Airmail overseas depends on how many bottles are ordered.

BTW I still have a couple of 500L bottles of FAB at £6.50 but these will also be increasing if they don't get sent before end of April

Just a matter of interest, what size are the bottles and how much will they cover. I need some dye but don't know how much to order. I need to do a couple of driver's front seats, a complete rear seat cushion plus four steering wheels. Plus I want some spare. I need sandstone for the seats and two steering wheels and smokestone for two other steering wheels. Plus I will need some black just in case my driver's seaton one of my cars starts to show wear.

What is FAB?

Difficult to answer really as it depends on how and what you apply it to.

Bottles are 30 ml which will easily do a full leather steering wheel with 3 light coats - the best way to put it on, with some spare to touch up seats but if you doing the whole seat like Poppy did she'd be best to give a guesstimate on how much you would need.

I'll PM you with details.

Hiya..... Believe me.....It goes a long way..... Soooo easy to apply too.... Fool proof..... And I am the proof of that........ I have done my whole interior with this dye..... even the complete dash board....I did apply a pu lacquer over mine.... For durability purpose because I had dyed so much......I would defy anyone to look at my interior and say that it was not the original oem fitment..... As for the price rise.....grrrrr, Does not everything go up every single day.....This is worth EVERY PENNY....THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND IT.....

Yes it will dye the airbag cover, you can either feather it in with worn bits or do the whole airbag, give it a thorough clean with warm water and a nail brush, build up light coats - 3 should do it.
