Default Leather Seat Dye

I need to dye the drivers side seat bolster on my 2008 XKR with "Charcoal" (black) interior. There are several posts on this forum about seat dyeing but I was wondering what the latest recommendations are.

I am having trouble finding a source for seat dye that will come closet to matching my seats also.

Any guidance and dye sources would be appreciated.

Thanks.
BD

Two dye products I have used on multiple Jaguar restorations, both very easy to use and both always with perfect concours proven results: Colorplus.com produces what they used to call Surflex, a water based polymer finish, and Leatherique in addition to their leather conditioner also produces an excellent product similar to Surflex. Both had perfect colour matches.

I just went through this trying to find a perfect match for JLR 'Parchment'. It seems various vendors think Ivory and parchment are interchangable with various hue differences between. Autoleatherdye.com came through and it turns out its a Bentley crossover color that matched perfectly.

I was able to obtain leather seat dye to match the Charcoal leather in my 2008 XKR from Scratch Doctor. Coming the UK the shipping made it a bit pricey (I am in Arizona) but I am very happy with the match. Apologies for the late response. and thanks to those who did reply to my request.

Another option is Colourlock from Germany. www.colourlock.com. Perfect match for the charcoal interior.
