Re-dieing King Ranch seats

I just bought a 2011 KR with 124,000 miles. Both front seats have some color loss on the outside bottoms. It leather is still in good condition jus some fading. Is it possible to re-die the seat bottoms? Anyone done it?

I've had great results with SEM dye on leather steering wheels in the past. I would clean the wheel with alcohol, sand with 180 grit sandpaper, a step you would probably choose to skip, clean with alcohol, clean some more, and let dry. Then spray with multiple light coats until you get the color you desire. Go to an automotive paint supply store and look at the SEM color chart. I "think" they can custom mix a color as well.

I have heard good things about these folks' dye system and use their cleaners on my KR seats.
