Anyway, any suggestions for the best way to stain the honey brown leather grips darker?
Or, anyone up for a trade? (Honey brown leather grips for dark brown leather grips)
The stitched grips would be pretty easy to re-cover using the correct color leather (assuming they're actually stiched-on leather and not some kind of molded creation.)
Refer to this message to see how it can be done...
