Default Help!! Paint on Leather

Really ticked off cause my seat is perfect and now everytime i look at them the spot i got angry. When I first noticed it i put alcohol on it and scrubed, but it just made it worse and now it "discolored" the leather around the spot. Is their a leather touch-up paint i could use to cover it up and blend nicely? Or some trick thatll take it off, i tried acetone.

ACetone is way too much remover on leather. Sorry to hear about this. Try SEM paint from the local store, if not do a search and get the correct color match.. .Sand it down and lightly coat it to the new color... SEM is the bomb diggity!!!
