Product Information

If you buy commercial leather dyes, you'll find detailed instructions on how to colour leather items. Please take the time to read instructions of leather colourants, because leather dyes are powerful. In saying that, they are highly effective to restore precious items, so it is a task worth undertaking. Always remove grease before you colour leather I would also like to endorse the recommendation of Millennium Mercedes in Bedford (01234 218424) which was made by Dr Robert Oakley in the May issue of the Gazette.

One of the great things about leather dye is that it comes in a wide range of colours. This means that you can easily find a dye to match the colour of your leather item, or you can experiment with different colours to create a new colour scheme. The colour match process is simple, and even if the original colour is old, it is possible to dye leather in an effective manner.The medium sized kit should be sufficient to re-colour larger areas such as an armchair or two car seats.

As beautiful and luxurious as leather goods are, even nature needs a helping hand. Over time, leather can begin to look faded and worn. Staining can ruin its appearance, or the colour loses its vibrancy.First, you remove the manufactured finish from the leather with the leather prep. This allows the colourants to adhere and penetrate the leather, giving a sound base covering. You then spray on a coloured coating for uniformity and to get a nice natural finish. The job is then sealed in with a professional leather finish. This finish protects and enhances the leather and stops it from wearing out. I have a specific colour I require for my project, can you provide this with the Leather Colourant Kit? Sending a sample of the leather was only necessary because I was not able to take my car to their premises. They welcome customers and tell me they have people regularly visiting to buy their products, not just for cars but for furniture as well. The people I spoke to on the telephone were helpful and friendly. This is a refreshingly different attitude from one of the other suppliers (Gliptone) who I have heard are rather abrupt and will not accept visitors. To improve abrasion resistance and water spotting even further, add 5% Norsol X-Linker to the colourant.

The last step is actually quite easy! The colour can be applied by brush, sponge or airbrush. Simply apply the colour onto the leather in a thin coat and dry it with a hairdryer. This issue contains an article from Clayton Spear regarding the excellent talk given at the DLOC Spring Conference by our guest speaker Aline Angus, by coincidence I had just effected some badly needed repairs to the leather seats in a Barker Special Sports. I am a great believer in con-servation and would rather preserve than replace any item, but as Aline mentioned in her write up there comes a time when the product is no longer fit for purpose and will require replacement. I thought it had reached this point with the seats in this car but decided that I would have one last attempt at repair, the method described by Aline was similar to the one I adopted. Yes, the Leather Colourant does not need to be thinned before use. If you feel the Colourant is struggling to get through your spray equipment, you can add up to 10% water. Unfortunately the contrast of screens vary, so the image you see on your screen may be slightly different to ours.

We use water-based colourants, a traditional technology that has been used in the manufacturing of leather for years. The end result looks like brand new leather. This is because the product is applied in the same way as in a tannery. Once applied, your leather will look and feel like natural leather, it will never flake, fade or peel off.
