-First guy to try to convert his whole interior to black, claims the product was from the heavens.
-It drys very fast looks very OEM and it even leaves the nice original leather texture behind.
- To test the durability he used acetone and it would not rub off. stabbed the head rest and all other kinds of cruel test on it and it did not come off. However, this guy dropped from the face of the planet and did not update on how well its been holding off.
there was also another guy who tested this on a random piece and said that it did not work for him, and that it came right off with goo off. But the first guy swears by this product to work. at this point there were mixed feelings if this stuff really works.
-Another guy decides to start the project to convert his interior to BMW tabaco brown
- He does post alot of pictures as he is doing this. see pages 26-27 and it honestly does look pretty good.
-Used a total of 9 cans to do a full interior conversion. ( average of $150~)
- This guy is pretty satisfied with the overall outcome.
-There was also another guy who did a two tone conversion, pictures do look pretty good.
-Stated that he will test the durability with his three big dogs and his sons baby chair and through out the summer
- However he has not reported back yet.
Conclusion- about four people used this product. 1st guy swears by it but disappeared from thread without any long term report of how is holding up. 2nd guy trys it and it did not work for him when he used goo off on it. 3rd guy did a two tone job and says its pretty legit, but also no longer term report back yet. last guy to try it on his whole interior states results came out satisfying but ALSO no long term report back after 2 years. So you be the judge on why there hasnt been any reports back yet.
Other findings: apparently it do not work too well on hard plastics, but it will work if you spray a clear coat over it. It also does not need any special prep work such as sanding, simply was leather with water and soap and then spray over it. Colorbond DOES have a foul smell but it goes away in a couple of days.
