Or you could re-colour them for a few quid. Try upholstery suppliers for the dye required.

Yes.


It might take a couple of coats, but that's hardly a problem.

Polyeurathane paint would do the job as it's flexible and durable, but possibly not the look you're after ::)

Try this stuff: http://www.kolorbond.co.uk/vinylkote-paint-leather-vinyl  :y

I have used this stuff before, don't bother with aerosols, I bought the paint and used an air brush to put it on, took loads of coats on a P6 Rover to change the interior to biscuit from a dark beige sort of colour.................. :y :y
