how much would it cost to get something like that done i love that colour interior I have a blue raddo

[bernie1033 0]

the extra large kit inc colour match

cost me about €150 delivered to ireland lirc,

then its a diy job unless you mean

bringing it to someone to do?

Does anyone know what finish I should get for the stock black corrado leather in a 94? Matt, satin or gloss?

 

Cheers

this was my first time to do this mate,

i just took my time and followed the instructiuons

to the letter,id recommend you take up furnitureclinics offer on a compressor,

i used a freinds on the airbrush and it makes it so much easier,

i got my colour match from a piece of beige trim i sent them,

i also went for the matt finish,

hope this helps.

vr6 rob if you want to go beige the code they

gave me with my colour match is CORRADO-YU-20G,

feel free to use that code if you want,cheers.

Was there only ever one color of beige? My front seats are much browner than my back so I would like to both to match and I was wondering if i could use your colour code.

 

Would this dye work on alacantra?

 

Thanks

John

yes you can use the code,cant see them having a problem mixing my match

for anyone who wants it,as for different beige interiors

i dont know but i think i read on here that they were all the same,

maybe yours have darkened from use?

couldnt tell you on the alcantra,drop furnitureclinic a line,

very helpfull with any questions you might have.

I can vouch for that ^ I saw Nate's car yesterday and the interior is simply gorgeous! :notworthy: Actually the whole car is gorgeous - definitely inspired me to get mine sorted :)

just how i want mine to look,how is it wearing ,did you use sponge or compressor ,thanks for the help :salute:

[bernie1033 0]

its wearing very well,mine is a daily driver,

i used the sponge first for 3 coats and then i

got the lend of an airbrush compressor :clap:

the gas canisters that come with the kit

can be a pain but the compressor makes it an easy job

but follow the instruction and your set. :D
