Scraped Leather

reRESERVEDMD · 12-21-2009, 01:47 AM

Hi folks!

Long story short. My friend slid his butt while getting into my car and carved a nice scratch with his North Face.

Does anybody know if there's a way to fix that in such a way that it will be invisible? Dyeing, stitching in new piece... I don't know...

Here's a picture

Talk to George at www.leatherique.com , he will know if it is possible to fix this short of new leather.......

It's fixable - it will have to be sanded down a bit, conditioned, then re-dyed.

Epbrown, do you know anybody in Chicago who can do a great job? I once had a rip on the driver's seat and the dealer fixed that but it still looked like crap. It was as though they just dyed the spot rather than fill it with something.

I just completed a 14 hour road trip and my cat's rear claws did a job on my seat. I know it probably isn't repairable, but wanted to know what my options were as well. Anyone know of any wrecked Z4Ms w/ black leather seats?

I've seen similar fixed, but I haven't had any work like that done locally, sorry.

How about contacting leatherique as suggested and ask. They probably know somebody who could help in the Chicago area.
