I've purchased several of these kits over the years. They always work for me for small repairs but the end result depends on your skill to mix the product to match the existing color. The chart will not give you every color variation - not even close. It's just a starting guide. For example, to match my merlot/espresso dark brown bar seat, I needed black, bown and a little purple (red + blue). Only problem is that repairs may be slightly glossier than your original vinyl. Again, getting the right color and texture can happen with testing and practice, but sheen match is tougher. Note, the more you work the paint, the less shiny it will be. They do provide a gloss sealer in this kit which I never had in other kits. This does help give your repair more luster if needed.

Tip: if you have a rip or tear in something with cushioning underneath, if you can get a little piece of batting or cotton under the vinyl before gluing, it will help immensley. When you repair even a 1/8 inch tear, it can appear concave once you glue and color patch. No amount of patch color will make it appear even with the surface. Believe me, I've tried to build up several coats over several days yet one of my seat repairs still looks indented.

paraphrasing our leader "Who would have ever thought that color matching would be so complicated!". I do think the product will eventually work well. The Colormatchguide website is very useful to get the approximate color mix using a photo. The last art class I had was about 50 years ago so my ability to remember color wheel function is very dim. adding small quantities of other colors to get a good match is tricky. I am practicing on my daughter's very old Volvo before I tackle my wife's newer car. Both have the same issue of sun fade and wear on driver seat shoulder area. I am getting closer but not there yet.

I used this to touch up my handbag. It works great for small areas like the edges but not ideal for large surface areas. It dries into a vinyl-like consistency. I tried it on the front of my handbag and hated the look. Luckily I was able to rub/peel it off after dousing the area with leather conditioner

Love the product, it is easy to use and has many colors. I repaired my shoes last night and you can barely tell there was anything wrong with them. The item also comes with a couple mixing containers in case you need to customize your color. They also provide a chart to create other colors.

Worked beautifully- only bought it for the touch-up paint but the other items (texture paper, patch cloth, and this little buffer pad) were perfect. Used the link to the site to match colors and while it needs improvement- (like actual instructions on how to mix the colors needed to make the colors needed to come up with your final product) I was able to wing it and came up with a perfect match. If you want great results make sure that you start this project when you have some uninterrupted quiet time. You need to turn on something nice to listen to and take your time. To clarify- I had multiple small holes and scratches from our dogs- so I had to patch, then touch up.
