Discount10 got me 10% off, and I suspect it doesn't change very often.

Yup. Good eyes that man!
it needed a LOT of layering to stop it being patchy. I've done a little bit of leather work before, so knew it might not work; light colours & leather are not a happy mix. I ended up using 3/4 of the bottle of pigment, with quite a lot of layer sanding. With 4 coats of sealant.
Watering the pigment down a little helped massively with getting the layers flat, and brushing gave better results than a sponge in the end. The leather prep in the kit is just surgical spirit (probably) and I thought most of the rest of the stuff in the kit was a bit of a token effort... But, the pigment and top coats are really excellent. I ended up going for the satin finish too.
Huge thanks to peachy for spotting this - it's not cheap, but really does work.
FYI, after a few coats I gave the finish a bit of a torture test (without sealant). It's damn tough. unless I used chemicals I couldn't get any of the yellow to rub off on anything. With sealant, I suspect this is going to last a LONG time.
Finally, don't spill the dye on your lounge carpet. Even if you try to clean it off straight away, your partner WILL notice and insist on banning bike stuff from the house. Dammit.
