Leather is painted in a manner of speaking. It is sort of a dye paint. My Jag seats were both "painted" with special black leather coating and have held up very well.
 
I painted many a Rover leather seat in earlier years.......with leather paint..........Held up very good............I can ask my father if he remembers the brand name we used
 
Leatherique. It worked absolutely wonderfully on my old jag project and my dads old jag. It's expensive as heck, but worth it. It's way better than Meguiars IMHO.
