FAQ:
Q: Can this method be used on car seats?
A: Yes, as long as the damage is not structural. This trick works well for surface-level peeling or cracking.
Q: What if I can’t match the paint color exactly?
A: Choose a color slightly darker than the original—it blends more naturally than a too-light shade.
Q: Does this work on real leather as well?
A: It can be used for surface repairs on real leather, but for deeper damage, professional restoration may be better.
Q: How long will the repair last?
A: With proper care and minimal abrasion, repairs can last for several months to a few years depending on use.
