    A friend made me get the dye, I've had it for a year, then he came to the house and did most of the work.
    Lucky for me and my car!

    For anyone interested since the pockets soaked up a fair amount of dye the 2 doors will take 13-14 ounces of dye. The supplier sends cleaner to use prior to the process and a sponge to apply it.

    I had a few leather swatches from an earlier project with one that was a close, not perfect, match. If anyone wants me to contact the supplier for a color code let me know.

    I’m expecting another bottle any day. I’ll see if there’s a color code with that.

    The original "tabac" dye on an early 308 looks like someone very lightly sprayed black paint on the leather - that's the original dye - so if originality is important to you then do not re-dye. Otherwise that is one impressive product!

    Color code seems to be my last name. When I called for a refill they had all my info from my phone number.

    I can mail out samples on cardboard or something similar. Let me know if I can be of further help.

    I was trying to match the seats, which had been redone about 15 year ago. We came close, I'm happy.
