Connollising Leather Recolouring

With modern techniques, yes you can! There are some colours we would not recommend. Going from black to light, or light to black is not recommended, but otherwise it is possible. It works best on vintage cars, but modern cars can be done two. So if you bought a convertible with black leather, and want that 1950s look red leather interior, it can be done. Formerly, we would recommend purchasing a new leather set and getting a trimmer to replace it for you, but recolouring can be done at roughly a quarter of the price.

You probably don't need your car re-trimmed. At most, we usually send a car to the trimmer to replace a few panels in the driver's seat. You can buy entire pattern sets for many cars and replace the entire interior, but the work involved makes this expensive. The whole point of our service is that we can make old leather look like new by refinishing and recolouring it. It's far more cost-effective.

We can recolour anything that looks like leather. Truth is, not everything in a car that looks like leather, actually is leather. Door cards, dashboards and backs of seats are often PVC, but recolouring them is the same process. The only issue we are weary of is cracked dashboards in older cars. If they have cracked in the sunlight, it's because the foam underneath has dried out and become brittle. The best solution for this is a replacement. ...but send us a video, and we'll take a look.

This happens on quite a few sports cars, the seat can be re-padded by a car trimmer.

Unless you have something like an old Triumph where the hood is just a sheet of canvas, then the fabric hood is just a decorative coating -- the waterproofing is a rubber membrane underneath. So reproofing does nothing to fix a leaking roof. However, it's highly likely that your leak is due either to the drainage channels blocked or the rubbers being dirty or deformed and not making a waterproof seal. This is a service we can provide.
