Is Cohiba brown the right shade?

Cohiba Brown was used in select BMW leather interiors. The color name, leather type, equipment code, and model year must match. Aging, care, and exposure to light can alter the shade and gloss level. Therefore, test the color on a protected, original area first and in a concealed manner.

Important: Photos and screens are not reliable color references. If in doubt, use the BMW color guide first.

What quantity is appropriate?

• 30 ml: small abrasions
• 50 ml: typical seat cheek or several spots
• 100 ml: larger sections of a seat
• 150 ml: Complete front seat as a guideline

Application

1. Check material and damage.
2. Clean thoroughly and dry.
3. Degrease and carefully mattify shiny areas.
4. Repair any cracks or depressions before dyeing.
5. Apply the paint in several thin layers.
6. Allow to dry and seal any damaged areas appropriately.

Special features of Cohiba brown

Dark brown tones develop a patina and can appear significantly different depending on the light. Compare the dried sample on several protected areas.

Suitable – and when not?

Suitable for many pigmented BMW smooth leathers and, depending on the product, coated synthetic leather surfaces. Not suitable for Alcantara, suede, nubuck, or open-pore aniline leather. Open seams, larger holes, and brittle leather require a different repair method.
