Title: Leather Match
Post by: ohoraherecaptain on June 27, 2017, 14:19:06

Hi Guys. London calling once again.
I want to match the Parchment colour my seat covers have and need to purchase a couple of compatible leather hides! I also have an ivory steering wheel with a Parchment pad [see attached]. I doubt very much if I'll achieve a perfect match but any advice you can offer me will be much appreciated.
Got the seat covers in the US.
JOH.

Hello John,

The interio(u)r colo(u)r has _nothing_ to do with the hubpad colo(u)r.  :o >:( >:(

Ivory steering wheel - ivory steering hub pad
bladk (i.e. deep dark grey) steering wheel - black steering hub pad.
It's that easy !
Everything else (hubpad with the same color as interior) is incorrect !!!!

The leather you chose is typical aftermarket parchment leather. The grain is (far) too coarse.

This is what it looked when factory new.


Best,

Achim
