1986 Bentley Turbo R Magnolia leather seat restoration 

I often find with Rolly Royces and Bentleys that the leather seats are heavily overpainted to hide underlying wear and discolouration etc.
This Bentley Turbo R came in with heavy cracking on the leather coatings, a warning sign of overpainting. When I was chemically stripping off the leather coatings I found this one had been over painted twice with different leather colours each time (see photo in video).
Needless to say all the overpainting and then the original leather coatings were stripped away, thus allowing me to chemically strengthen the leather and fill the cracks. Then once all prepared apply 4 fine layers of the correct Magnolia leather colourant and 4 very fine layers of clear satin leather finish.
They looked fit for royalty after restoration, back to near new condition.
Regards,
Colin.
