@@nevrcm3261 thank you, the process is the same for most colours, it's slightly different for luminous colours, but for any standard colour you can follow the steps and you should get nice results. 👍
@@Leostr thanks for watching, I usually use the full heat 500 degrees, but it doesn't get this much of course if you move it all the time and keep the distance, maximum it gets is 70-80 degrees.
Looks good 🙏🏻 I’m doing my e30 convertible, with pacific blue leather upcoming summer. Why do you feed the leather after you’ve sealed it with filler, paint and topcoat? Why not feed the Leather beforehand, like, after sanding? In my humble opinion, the leather is more likely to absorb the conditioner deeper into the leather fibers.
@@xraylax the reason I am doing it after is that I would worry about proper adhesions of the new paint , overall it would be better to do it before , I am sourcing water based solution for that to use it before restoration.
@@OCDDetailing2021 Ah, that makes perfect sense. I might use 303 Aerospace protectant for that. After I use leather Honey to feed the leather. The 303 might just be enough to seal in the honey before paint. Would be great if you only have to use the 303 to keep the leather and synthetic top coat from drying out and cracking. But for now all this is still just a theory😅
Do czyszczenia papier o gradacji 320 lub 500? A nie powiedziałeś jakim papierem ściernym po szpachlowaniu? Przed malowaniem nie używać nic do odtłuszczenia powierzchni tak jak na filmie wystarczy przedmuchać po szlifowaniu tak?
Co do papierów to dobrze mieć kilka gradacji, ja mam 500 , 400 i 320, i generalnie w zależności ile trzeba ścierać wtedy dobieram odpowiednią gradacje, jak jest dużo do ścierania to 320, jak nie to 400 albo 500. Chociaż na jeden komplet siedzeń 400 byla by najbardziej optymalna żeby nie kupować za dużo różnych wariantów. Dopiero teraz widzę , że faktycznie po ostatnim sandingu na filmiku nie ma odtuszczania , ale bylo robione i trzeba to zrobić , żeby na pewno usunąć cay kurz po szlifowaniu, wydmuchać i przetrzeć, w tym przypadku można uzyć rozpuszczalniku do skóry , ipy 1:1 albo nawet wilgotnej w wodzie sciereczki , generalnie chodzi o usunięcie kurzu.
What kind of filler do you use? And what brand of paint? I have a set of E39 MSport seats Im going to start restoring soon, and theyre about as bad as these... Very nice job though! fantastic work!
But how long will it last? ... seen a few high end dealers having leather "sprayed" to make the car look good for selling etc .BUt looked terrible after 18 months
I am very sure this repair will last for years in this car, first of all its a weekend car so it will not be used too often, secondly the process in this case was done correctly , preparation, time breakes between stages, at the end the color was sealed with top coat which makes the the job durable. But overall there is no way to say how long a leather restoration will last , that's due to many factors: products used ( good or cheap quality - I use products I trust) , preparation ( guys at the dealer would have this job completed in a couple of hours, I spent over 10 hours giving necessary time breaks between stages to make sure everything bonds properly and cures , the job was done over 3 days . after that durability depends on how often the car is used daily of casually , also how is maintened. Even If there is anything missing in the process , the final product may look preety similiar but it makes huge difference how long it will last.

How is the leather softening oil you apply at the end ever going to soak through all that paint and clear finish with hardener? This is the main issue with aftermarket painting of leather, it isn't nearly as soft as new leather and the cost of doing this isn't far off a retrim.
It looks like you have some knowledge about it, but you can belive or not, its not first job I did, with some leather paints it wouldnt make sense to apply leather oil after, but with Geist or Colourlock paints it simply works , done it many times and it does softens the leather nicely, I usually apply oil/conditioners until the leather gets back to a decent level of softness. I used paints from different brands and yes some paints will not let the oil/conditioner to be absorbed by the leather , so I wouldn't use them on leather that is dry/hard. That's my experience. When it comes to the cost of respray by me compared to a good quality retrimmig in my area ( with real leather ) , my cost is 1/3-1/4 of price of retriming. So its customers choice whether they want new or restored leather.

I use leather filler from Geist, you can try this brand for leather restoration supplies or Colour lock also vg. Best of luck with your car 🚗
amazing. what is the price for such service ?
Thank you, price depends on a couple factors like condition, 1 seat or full set, so it varies from 150 to 250 euro per seat.
