Thread: removing overspray from leather

Tweet

Ouch. Is it true leather, or vinyl? How much overspray is on it? If the upholstery is in good condition, I would take it to a pro who works with the stuff and pay to have it done right. I have heard something about leather having the ability to be lightly sanded, but that is something I have never seen done or confirmed.

Good luck.

Ya ain't gonna believe this, but I bought a used 91 eldo with white leather seats. Well, the yahoo had painted thefront seats white( they were already white) with krylon apparently to cover some staining rather than cleaning them. The pros said " get that outta my shop" Well, I took to them with saddle soap and a brillo pad an It came off with a lot of elbow gease an careful scrubbin. I was constantly checking to make sure I wasn;t scrubbing off the original dye. Looked good when finished, A year later, the leather disintegrated an 1500$ later I had new white leather seat covers. Live an learn.

yep, true leather All the chrome pieces have the overspray on it as well, so had to polish every piece of that as well Oh well, I'll keep looking...the overspay is real light, if it wasn't for one spot where it is obvious something was sitting on it, you would hardly notice it.
