Which would be best for a leather car seat?

Has anyone used Colorbond LVP (paint) for leather? Is it any good?

Here is a link to what I'm talking about:

Or do you think it would be best to go with dye?

Which product would you recommend for an ageing leather car seat? I'm trying to keep costs down.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I personally have had very good results with the SEM product line. The first time I used them I was at the jobber's pick up counter and asked the guy if they were good. He said, "We dyed that stool you are sitting on two years ago when we opened and people have been sliding their butts on and off of it ever since." It still looked good and I have used the SEM since.

Follow the directions. Make sure the material is clean and oil free. Use the conditioning solvent and I think you will be pleased.
