Default Leather seat refinish

Had passenger seat apart to install seat heater.
So I decided to refinish leather seat bottom a bit. It had some deep cracks, but not all way thru, and was worn thru finish on door side from entry/exit.

Had paint shop mix up sem surecoat in rattle can , perfect match. $23. I gave them a piece of old driver seat (replaced this a while back). I painted steering wheel last yr, holds up fine.

Only did leather bottom, not vinyl sides. Didnt try for perfect, just better than was.

That looks really good. Do you think that would work on my seat? Would it cover the cracks and such?

You have to repair and prep.
Its finish, not magic.

Superglue and sanding and filler repairs cracks

Sand off old hard dried out finish around edges of cracks

My driver side was real bad so I replaced that a while back.
Then the passenger looked bad by comparison, so thought Id give it a try.
Acceptable compared to cost of new.
