SEM Color Match For Ebony Leather
I know there are other threads on here that mention using SEM Color Coat for changing the color of interior parts. SEM 15013 Landau Black is said to be a close match to the Ebony color.
The passenger front seat in my 02 Z28 was damaged in a wreck. I bought the car lightly wrecked. I found another seat that was out of a 98 Camaro. It was a dark gray color lighter than the ebony seats in my car. I only needed to use the lower seat bottom to repair my seat.
So anyhow the purpose of my post is that I found that SEM makes an exact match for the ebony interior. It is called SEM Sure Coat and the part number for Ebony is 4939.
I am going to try this and will report back on here with before and after pics. I thought this info may be helpful to some of you here. Their sure coat is recommended for use on leather.
I just ordered the stuff so as soon as I get it I will try it out and post my results.

Well I got the stuff, followed the directions exactly, and I've got to say that I am quite disappointed in the outcome. This car is just going to be a street strip driver so it's not to big of a deal. Lets just say that the SEM Sure Coat that matches Ebony, is NOT an exact match.
Here is a link to the directions I followed from the SEM site. Directions Here.
I used the directions for refinishing leather. To be fair I should note that their sure coat product is intended to be sprayed on with an actual paint gun, like what you would use to paint a car with. Or it can be brushed on.
I currently don't have any paint equipment so I did a search online and found a place that sold custom mixed aerosol cans of sure coat if you supplied them with the SEM part number for your particular color. So thats what I used.
Here are the before and after pics. The top half of the seat is the original ebony. The lower half is the 1998 Dark Gray color.
