Interior: Diy bolster repair anyone?
Has anyone here successfully reinvigorated their worn seat bolster? I can’t find anyone near me to do it. I’ve successfully repaired seats and leather couches in the past. I’m hesitant to do it myself because the leather in my 2015 seems to have a blue-ish tint to it and doesn’t seem to be just black.
The one place that does interior repair around me is over an hour away, quoted me less than $200, but would need to keep the car for the entire day. I just don’t have the ability to do that right now with my schedule. It’s not terrible and was from the previous owner but It’s one of those detail things that drives me insane.
Thanks for the input everyone!

See the detailing forum there are some threads/posts about SEM Classic Coat it will fix that right up and won't rub off.

SEM Classic Coat Midnight Black might match up to that, I've used it before it is not pure black. Don't think it has a blue tint though. Either way check it out, plus this page has instructions.

I used the SEM to paint/dye a Ducati motorcycle seat I got for cheap that had really bad red over spray. Cleaned the seat with soft brush and soapy water. Sprayed Bulldog Adhesion promoter. Let it get tacky and hit it with the SEM Color Coat. Worked great! No peeling, no flaking. Put about 7500 miles on the seat with no issues at all!

Hi all, I Used the SEM Classic coat Midnight Black and unfortunately it is a bit too much on the grey side. I was hoping it would darken as it dried and then I tried Leather Honey overnight in hopes it would darken the color a tad but it did not. I'm not upset as the product looks like it is going to work great and ill just chock it up to this being my .... "primer coat" for a deeper black.
So, i'll be contacting SEM to see if the color of my can is off because the date code is 2019 and/or if I need to buy a different color black.
Pics coming soon.
