Wrong leather paint bought ...

Post by pvr » Thu Mar 23, 2023 3:33 pm

Got a bottle from Furniture Clinic of Dream Red, but I just went through the VIN decoder and I see my seats are Imola Red (which I thought was an M colour only).

Anyone happens to have Imola red or wants Dream Red?

There were no Imola seats in non M models (untill indivual seats came in :lol: )

That was my knowledge base and I stick with it :P

Hey Pvr, have you tried calling them, I'm quite sure they could do a swop, it is afterall a stock item, not a special order. Worth the cost of a call.

I did actually, but just got a "nobody available to take your call" message. Sent an email instead so will see if they respond.

Good luck I hope you get through soon. I'd recently brought some dream red paint for my seats, otherwise I would've had the paint off you. I'm hoping to renovate my seats in the summer.

The pain I suffer now from your jokes is worse than the financial loss of ordering the wrong paint :D
