I guess this is the correct board but my armrest on my center console is starting to fade. It’s tan, but I guess the discoloration is due to my arm. It’s 7 series so I am “assuming” it’s leather. Anyone have any luck with a leather dye of some sort? It’s not dirt.
Thx

SEM Classic Coat works great on leather. Clean with isopropyl alcohol, then sand with a red scuff pad, then clean again before spraying.
It's a crap shoot on a perfect match for the color though.



SEM also makes a product called Color Coat, but it's not designed for leather. It will peel sometimes.

So during prep, you have to remove the piece you want to spray? I assume this is basically a high end version of a “spray paint”?

It's a spray paint/dye that works great on leather. I'd definitely take the armrest out and tape off anything you don't want paint on.

I also had a buddy suggest Sihoope leather recovering balm. Ever heard of that? Seems to get good reviews

Thx
