Q. Will this affect the quality of the repair compared to applying Leather Colourant and Leather Finish? The extra large kit has been designed for a full car interior (5 seats, door cards, centre console, dash, and all other leather areas) or an entire three piece suite. 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. Wait 30 minutes for the Colourant to thoroughly dry and then proceed to spray the Colourant onto the leather. Set up your spray gun or airbrush and then spray the leather at a comfortable distance, being careful not to over apply the colour. It is best to practice a bit on a piece of paper to get the hang of spraying first. Spray the Colourant on in thin layers. This avoids runs and so makes for a nicer finish.Apply diluted Easy Leather Dye directly to the canvas (not on to the soft side of the sponge like you do for real leather). Because the seating cushions and other areas come under more stress (wear & tear) it is important to prepare them. To do this it is best to rub them with the Leather Prep and an abrasive pad, this application removes the leather finish. A good way to apply this is to place two cotton wool balls on the abrasive pad and then wet them in prep, fold the abrasive pad over the balls and then use it to rub the leather. This way applies the prep in the correct and sparing way making the product last longer. 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. A. No, this is the benefit of using Leather Repair Paint. The colour seals itself whilst it dries. The only time you would need to apply Leather Finish would be to match the shine of the leather. Our Red Leather Shoe Dye is a concentrated, water-based colourant. The dye is easily applied and can be used to re-colour leather products or as a touch up dye for minor repairs. Our dye is easily applied with a sponge or spray bottle and leaves behind vivid, rich colour with a built-in protective sealant layer. Although our all in one dye and sealant offers built-in protection, we recommend finishing your project with our leather protection cream to provide additional protection against staining.

Mix the finishes together to create the version that you’re after, using the guide above as a reference. Once mixed, test the finish on an inconspicuous are to make sure you’re happy with it. You can adjust it by adding more matt or gloss, as needed. If you’re unsure what finish you want, start with Satin and adjust as required from there Calling on modern colour matching methods, our team of specialists will identify the colour of your leather and formulate an exact match. A. Yes, in fact this is great for aniline leather as you are limiting the amount of surface coatings being applied which will help to keep the leather looking more natural and softer.The colourant used in the kit can be used on Vinyl, but the colourant layer will not adhere as well to the surface Vinyl as it does on leather. To counteract this, we advise that you apply our Adhesion Promoter before spraying on the colourant, this will ensure a suitable surface for the colourant to adhere to and provide better results and longevity. The first step is preparing the leather ready for applications of colour. We do this to remove any waxes, oils or silicones that may be present on the leather. Not removing these could cause adhesion problems. Prepping the leather also removes the manufactured finish. If the leather is very dirty, clean it first with our Leather Cleaner. If the leather is damaged, it is at this stage where you would make any repairs using our Leather Repair Products. The Leather Finish is the same finish that we removed at the start of the process. It’s applied by airbrush so it’s important to ensure your airbrush is cleaned thoroughly after spraying the Leather Colourant.

If necessary repeat the process for a second time to obtain the correct finish, always making sure that the previous layer is totally dried. The colour of my leather has worn/faded and I want to restore it, do I use the Leather Re-Colouring Balm or the Leather Colourant Kit? In fact, we create all of our leather colourants using car manufacturers’ specific interior colour codes, enabling us to deliver a precise match for your vehicle. 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.There is no right number of coats that should be applied to the leather. Spray on one coat and dry it off, then just keep spraying on a coat at a time until all the base colour is hidden. When you are happy that sufficient colourant has been applied, the Leather Finish should be sprayed on to the leather. STEP 5. Apply the Finish Better still, we’ll provide you with a specific RAL colour code for your interior so you can easily match it next time. I have a specific colour I require for my project, can you provide this with the Leather Colourant Kit?

If applied correctly, the finish/colour provided by the kit can typically be expected to last as long as the original manufacturers finish would taking into account conditions and wear & tear. It's not simply a case of applying any leather dye you can lay your hands on. This process needs careful handling if you want the best results. I would like to recommend The Furniture Clinic (0844 879 3691) as an excellent supplier of leather restoration products. Shake the bottle of colourant for about three minutes to make sure it is well mixed. Pour a small amount onto a sponge and rub into the leather. The idea is to sponge on a thin coat of colour working it into any gaps, creases and hard to reach areas. Apply light pressure here to work the colourant into the grain. If you apply too much pressure you may get a foam of colour on the surface, this is not a problem, just wipe it away with the sponge (gently).
