and they might be better able to answer them. I found them very accomodating with any questions I had. The only problem as I mentioned is that you may be on a slippery slope with trying to match things. If it is a bit off, will you want to keep matching more things so it looks better (headrest, etc.). The inherant problem is, as any painter will tell you, that it is hard to match old paint (old dye in this case) due to fading, soiling etc. I can tell you that nobody has noticed any difference in the color of my center console vs. the rest of the interior, but if you do the whole front seat, it may be more noticeable versus the back seat. Since the process doesn't take long at all (I think in my original post to fix the center console, it took about 5 minutes start to finish) I would just do the center console and see what you think.

I know I mentioned this already, but follow the directions explicitly and do lighter strokes since you can always add more (but it is harder to take off), and mix the dye well. I really think you will be very happy with the result, especially versus how it looks currently.
