I am looking for color dye for my leather seats, I found this site http://www.classicdyeproducts.com/toyota_1 they provide color dye diagram, after a very careful close look, the colour is very likely to be: Dk charcoal black (2304) on mine Toyota Camry V6.

I just wanted to ask about this site, do you think it is legit? When I looked their address on google I only could see a big private house from satellite. Has anyone used them before by any chance?

You're going to dye factory seats?

Yes, I got some scuffs from a baby chair and one crack I need to patch and dye. At first I was going with COLOURLOCK but then realized that seats are not just complete dark black in color.

If someone knows another good option, please let me know.

From what I've seen and been told, Toyota leather seats aren't all leather; just the center sections. The rest is pleather.
You have to be careful what dyes you use on each.
Also, if it's that very finely perforated stuff, some of chemicals can attack the foam. And can bleed back on your clothes.

I would go to a reputable, reputable upholstery shop. Most are small operations. That's all dealers and body shops do.

I second having an upholstery shop do this. You can create huge problems attempting to dye factory seats. Most use a mixture of vinyl and leather surfaces.

Or just go all out and SEM the suckers...

This involves taking the seats out and sending them to a paint shop.

My buddy's done it [way back in the day mind you, now they just Katzkin everything] on an M3 with the cream seats... and used parts were $$$, sprayed the whole interior, including seats in SEM black.... Looked OEM and lasted a long time.

If you do some quick looking around ClubLexus, a lot of the SC3/400 guys do this for the infamous "black interior conversions" since the US got 98.5% tan interiors in those cars and black, was only made on days where Lexus sacrificed a Unicorn at the factory....
