Sean De'Ath Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hi guys. iv resprayed this old mountney wheel, but is there any way to get the grip back to black, without it rubbing off on my hands? i haven’t tried anything yet, there is some stuff left on it from the masking tape, but it’s mainly just worn bare.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You can re-dye the leather, then apply a clear sealer coat. Its the same process used on car seats etc and is pretty robust. (Its only how most leather car interiors were done originally!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean De'Ath Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hmm ok, Do you know where and what I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 This is the sort of thing. https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/How_To_Change_The_Colour_Of_Leather_Car_Seats If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can have it done, there are mobile people that will do car seats and things on-site, too, whether they come out just for a wheel though, I don’t know! Also, ask around your local shoe/key repair type places! When I was looking to try and get replacement Westfield ignition keys, I visited quite a few, and when you got talking, it was amazing how many had repaired steering wheel s for all sorts of cars. Everything from re-stitching, to exactly what you want, re-colouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean De'Ath Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Ill give it a go myself, pointless spending to much on it. I’ll have a read. thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Dave beat me to it. I was going to suggest a cobbler, I have one near to me who does a lot of bike gear, jackets full suits etc, I suppose they may need recolouring.

Rab (bombero) Reid Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Gliptones has good leather restoration products for this kind of thing - clean, dye, feed, and it'll be as good as new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
