Default leatther refinishing

This is my first attempt at refinishing leather seats. I have done leather work on boots and built a few saddle bags from saddle leather for my harley. The process is simple and all you need is an air brush. Just thought i would share my experience but i have much more work to do.

Here is my repair attempt. I bought this from fellow forum member. But that stain was not stain but finish that worn through.

Not stealing a thread. Just sharing here instead of starting a thread.




Repaired finish with acrylic paint.



I will report back with durability of the repair.
