Just another question about it.
Did you sand back the whole wheel to give it an even finish or just the affected area? | I did a finish sanding on the entire wheel before coating with the dye... It definitely is a good idea to slightly knock off the original finish with a very light sanding. It will make the dye absorb evenly for a longer lasting and smoother finish. | | | | |
Did you repair the big hole inthe grey Vader or replace the panel? | | | | |

I unfortunately did not get a picture of the seatback that I replaced it with before I started the process. The refinish process here would not repair damage like that. The replacement seatback was intact, but the bolster had been worn down to the suede (ie; no finish at all). It only cost me $50, much less than trying to replace just the bolster section. | | | | |
where can i get the arm rest from ? or is that a home made one ? | | | | |

thats the one on the door panel? | | | | |
What did you do with the one side bolster on the dove that was worn all the way down to the foam? Did you have to stitch a new piece of leather in or did you just paint a lot of the leather filler on to that area? | | | | |

Old thread but I know wolferj is still around.
Was the one $65 kit you linked enough material to do your repairs? I want to do both front side bolsters and the steering wheel. I have sport seats with cloth centers so I only need to do the bolsters but want to make sure I have enough material so I don't run out in the middle of the project.
Thanks!

Glenn;
It should be, but you could order an extra tube of the patch product to be safe. | | | | |
