Can anyone tell me if you can dye leather? We have a 29 mercedes gazelle and the leather is faded but otherwise in good condition. I would think cheaper to dye if possible then to get new. It is tan and we want black.

Depending on the condition of the leather it is possible to dye it.
SEM makes the most commonly used automotive vinyl/leather/carpet dyes.
Since you'll be using black you should have no problem with coverage.
SEM also make a couple of prep products that can be used prior to applying the dye. However, you can simply clean the leather with paint thinner (believe me, it takes everything off)and shoot it. I suggest using a heat gun to help dry it between coats but a hair dryer will do. You can purchase SEM vinly dyes at nearly any automotive supply shop that sells auto paint.
