idk about leather repainting. You might have to take it to an upholstery shop and get the section replaced. It won't be exactly OEM, but close enough. I had a hole in my seat and got the panel replaced.

YouTube has a plethora if how-to videos on what you're looking for including what products they use. This one is really amazing how well this guy does.
Just search "refinish leather seats" in the YouTube search bar. Let us know what you learn and do.

if you paint your seat, just keep in mind that over time the paint will wear off.

check out ColorBond. Get a few cans of that stuff and your seats will get back to normal
