In june I had ordered a dye kit from Leatherique to redye my seats, steering wheel and gear selector. This long weekend, I didn't need to use the truck, and I decided to do it.

I don't really feel like a full write up, so this is more of a show and tell. :wavey:

This is the website

I bought kit 3 and the steering wheel kit - it includes a shiny "clear coat" to make the surface more durable.


Before

Here is a close up of my steering wheel

It looked like a dog chewed it

Heres with near everything out

Seats dissasembled

Really noticable cracks

Steering wheel off...

I had actually wet sanded the wheel before I took the pic

During


This was after I wet-sanded the seat

After

Everything Back in

Image

Looks pretty shiny

Image

The color of the wheel is closer in person, but the sheen is still too shiny - apparently it is supposed to dull after a few weeks

Image

I love the gear selector now

Image

Looks pretty good

I did this project over the weekend, I wasn't very hard - just time consuming.

For under $200, this made a noticable difference. I still have more than half of the dye left - so that'll be a project for 2018 :rotfl
