Default I want to repair and paint leather seats

I'm looking to repair my 2001 Chrysler limited town and country seats. Where can I buy the color that matches my seats? My VIN number says the color of the seats is taupe, but to me the color has a hint of grey.

Try doing a google search for leather seat paint and see what comes up. You might find something like this:

Car Leather Paint | Car Leather Repairing & Refinishing | ColorBond

or

Auto Leather Dye - Automotive Leather Dye

Matching the color exactly may prove to be a challenge, especially if the color changes slightly as the paint dries. You may get a better result by buying and mixing enough paint to do all the seats in the car.

Or how about replacement leather secondhand seats. Bet they would look good in my old Motorhome with swivel plates below, come to think of it.

Getting swivel plates costs more than seats, makes me weep !

Got these long ago about 2001 Captain and were only £35 each. Nothing in the things mind you, two plates, a centre bolt and a lock in position handle. Here maybe add bench Voyager seats and the captains chairs inside to finish it off. Here that's funny enough an interesting idea.

You were right place right time at that price. they are about £250 a pair, you can get very iffy ex campervan types on ebay but they are usually 'collect only' and take your chances. Fabbing a swivel cheap would be easy, its fitting, sliding for & aft and locking in place securely that's the real pig.
