Repainting leather interior - patching cracks

Hi All,

I remember seeing a post semi-recently withs some pictures of a marron interior W124 (if I remember correctly it may have been a W126). The member owning it had explained how he redid his interior for a hundred bucks or so using quality product. I have spent the last hour trying to search for that post but cannot find it. Anyway: I have some cracks (no tears) and rubbed-off paint in my beige leather in the 1983 380SEC that I would like to bring back to life. I have just applied leatherique to the interior and had the car sitting out in the sun. I'll probably reapply tomorrow and let it cook for a couple of days to cure the leather back to its "soft state". However afterwards I'd like to take a crack ath the cracks and use some paint to make it look great. I know leathrique sells repair stuff but I believe there are great (and less expensive) alternatives. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Greg
