Dying leather headrests

[Vincesrg03]

I searched the forum but couldnt find an answer. Maybe someone can help me out. I installed some headrest TVs in the Yukon, best money i ever spent cuz kids are quiet anywhere we go. They are the ones that come with the tvs preinstalled on headrests. Just wire em up, and pop em in. The only problem is they are a few shades lighter gray than the leather thats in the Yukon. At first it did not bother me, but now it sorta does Has anybody ever try to dye leather to match the rest of the interior? Ive gone online and some places say to use shoe polish, and they got special dyes for leather. has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks Indian Mark, thats exactly what i need. I could also freshen up the seats. Where can i find the spray and soap? I got the darker gray leather, where do i find the code for the leather? Or is it the same color in all the gm trucks?

I bought a can on Ebay, then picked up a can at a local auto paint supply shop. I just Googled auto paint supply for my area. They had a color chart sample and all the colors in stock.

Not sure if this is your color, but you get the idea.:

Yeah, me too! I'm in Michigan where the weather is crap. I'll wait another few weeks. Bought the stuff a while ago. I think I'll pull the front seats out if it's not a two day project. Looking forward to getting it done.
