Leather re-colouring - Rolls-Royce
Thursday, August 31st, 2006
The next car I had the privilege of watching being connollised was a Rolls-Royce. The car is about twenty five years old and in great overall condition. But as happens with time, the leather has got old and worn, and needed some tender love and care.
When connollising leather there is a dye-code that was used
to originally dye the leather. Allan has these codes so he can mix up the colour precisely.
Unfortunately, when the leather is as old as in this car, the original colour would look out of place because the leather will have gotten darker, (think old leather jacket) and bleached by the sun along with just ordinary wear and tear. Even if you could dye the seats back to its original, the other inside parts would then look out of place, such as the carpet and ceiling. These can not be dyed with leather dye, obviously and can only be cleaned. more »
