Tan Seat Dyed Black..Before and After Pics

[dog1]

Hey Guys, I thought I would post some pics of the before and after pics of dying my Tan bobber seat Black.
First I started with washing the seat with soap and water...after Drying I wipe seat down with "Angelus" dry cleaner and spot remover.

Then I put two coats of "Lincoln Black shoe dye" after the dye drys I needed to wipe the entire seat with same solvent to take out the purple hue that comes to the top of the dye and to remove any excess dye.

Then I use "Meltonian All purpose cleaner & conditioner" to bring out the luster just like new finish! I did go one step further and applied a nuetral leather paste but this made the seat look to glossy so I took it off. enjoy the pics!!!
