Now that I've done the smallest patch of leather on the car, it's time to take the plunge and do a larger section.  So off comes that door card - made easier by fitting wing-nuts previously.  The door card is in 2 pieces, which is handy because I'm doing a two colour leather interior.  Satin black with satin stone highlights.

Method is pretty much exactly the same as with the small test piece.  First you remove the protective coating on top of the existing leather .  Then clean it up, spray with the new colour and then fix in place with a finisher.  The only difference this time is that the spray bottles supplied are great for small work, just gets a little tedious when moving onto a larger piece of leather.  So upgraded to a proper compressor and spay gun.  Much quicker!

Here is the door card in original state with the grey gloss finish leather.

And here it is finished with the re-colour.  Only thing pending is a new cigar lighter as the original kinda broke on removal.
