Dye leather

[vdk2010]

My headrests are missing and I found these on eBay:


They are green but should be black..! Does anyone have experience and/or before/after pictures of dyed real leather interior parts?

Try these guys for info and recommendations and dye, they're usually at the larger swap meets like the Veterama in Hockenheim and Mannheim and give personal recommendations if you have the parts with you.

My Hurst with the 70 Imperial interior in saddle tan happens to have the headrests in vinyl, not genuine leather, also some of the sides on the rear seats. Not sure about these in the pic, they look as they may be genuine leather.

Thanks for the link!

These Headrests are from a '70 Imperial but look quite similar to the '69 headrests.
I'm not sure if I should buy these because just one is in good shape... And they will cost $80+shipping...

You might find some useful info here, take into consideration what the cost of cores, shipping, resto costs. Maybe you can buy the green ones and send them to these guys.

I'd leave these, you'll probably find something from a member here on sale and genuine black shouldn't be too hard to find.

Thank you guys! The headrests are not first priority but I keep my eyes open and check out my options to find out what's the best way to find substitutes.

Sure, best way would be to find the right ones ;) If someone has these for sale, I would appreciate an offer!
