Color code is 917 and you can choose what shine you want (I went matte and you can’t tell the difference).

I also have Black Merino leather so I decided to give this a try, came in yesterday and so far it's a perfect match! I had a couple of marks on my passenger seat that were slightly smaller than OP's but they bothered me every time I looked.

Thank you!

I wish getting this close of a match for Mineral white was as easy lol

No, they will just go with the cheapest quote.

I mean obviously I can't prove they did it, but I mean I never have anything in my pockets and you can tell the scratch is brand new. The only person who has sat in the seat is the tire tech and me.

So frustrating.
A tire shop put a huge gouge on one of my rims during a 4 tire install even after I taped up all the wheels ,rims, etc and personally asked the tech to be careful. I very politely asked for something in return and ended up with a free tire (used as a spare now) so yes, with a professional courteous attitude, they should make do on the scratch.

Colourlock and an airbrush worked great for me.

I find it absolutely BIZARRE that there is NO leather/upholstery repair guys around SoCal.

I have tried and tried and tried. Not a single person will take a look or even attempt to repair the scuff marks. Not one person has experience with colourlock.

I've hit up specific leather repair spots and they tell me it's not repairable LMAO. It's a SCUFF.

Where all these youtube people that repair leather so easily???

All these "upholstery" places around SoCal = Garbage. If you can't even repair leather what makes you think I will give you any business for other shit.

If anybody has a recommendation I'll take em.
