Can the filler stuff be used to patch up a hole or you have to have something underneath? Also is it essentially like a glue after it dries? Meaning you could.. sort of patch a hole or two as well?

That's a nice looking car key.

I do leather upholstery too and I agree with the many others stating this looks terrible. Someone with such an expensive car should have opted to get the worn parts like the side and leg bolsters replaced with new leather. No matter how flexible that sealer is, it doesn't last. The oils from you body get under it and make the splitting look much worse. In a 2 day time, I can tear the seat down, build a pattern from the worn leather, redye the leather the correct way, and put it back together keeping the beautiful contrast of the red french seams on the black leather. This video is not how a professional restores leather seats in a Ferrari. This is how a professional car flipper has the seats done to sell to some poor unknowing soul.

Looks good but it's not GREAT ..I could only imagine the time & labor it cost to get this done I'd rather reholster the whole seat

How do you keep dye from the contrasting threads>

Not that I could do any better, but if I took a $250k+ Ferrari in to have the seats restored and got this back I would be furious about the stitching.

My side support on the driver’s side has the same issues and now the leather is showing wear-and- tear and I’m always careful how I get in my driver’s seat. The idea of reupholstering a luxury car seat is frightening because, like going to a mechanic shop they know how to read you when it comes to pricing and more often than not the job price is astronomical, but I’m going the reupholstered and structural work route … spray painting is okay if you want to spend twice, it eventually wares off again, but I feel if the seat’s is still going to look compressed and the leather will still have stretch marks voids , then a repack of foam is necessary in order for the seat to look like new. And because the seat has sections, I can inquire about the areas that are most obviously damaged. The leather has already been stretched, thinned, so sanding it only removes more fiber which makes the original thickness of 1/8” even thinner which means the leather will eventually tear.

That’s a cheap fix. Pull it apart, keep the red stitching and make new leather sections.
