I have seen it done on household furniture with good results.
Check the Yellow Pages.

there is a company called eastwood.... google them and they will show up. they are in the auto restoration business and make a wide variety of top flight uphostery products. i just bought some vynal dye to touch up my interior .... don't have it yet but expect it to be just fine. while shopping this saw lots of leather stuff for same...

Re: Dying Leather?
 

Yeah , I've dealt with Eastwood before for auto stuff. Steering wheels take a lot of abuse. I'll have to check them out.

i see new steering wheels in the classified section here cheaper than trying to fix them... nice ones too.

I would suggest go to www.leatherique.com

They sell a variety of leather dye and care products. Very popular in auto restoration circles. Their stuff is very popular with Ferrari circle as they are notorious for having poor wearing leather.

I redid the leather interior in Ferrari that I owned. To do it correctly, it was a major undertaking to remove the old dye and re-dye. But, the results were worth it. Final result was a Ferrari national award.

If you're not particular, you could check out your local paint supplier, or someone dealing in doll-up supplies. You can purchase give it a quick blitz before it goes down the road used-car type product.

I used some custom mixed vinyl dye from PPG on my dodge. It's been holding up very well. The product looks like a stain with some body. You need to spray it on just like a paint.

try SEM leather dye, you should be able to buy it at a local automotive paint store. It it is a water base product no reducer needed however, you do need a compressor paint gun with #2 or at least 1.8 tip. you have to prep your leather with a water base cleaner, I use awsome , I hear you can find it at 99 cent stores. I purchase the gun for @ $60. A pint of SEM costs me @ $33. I have been using for years with no problems. the colors are made to match use your imagination.
