“Renovate Not Replace” Known for being durable, hard wearing, easy to clean and aesthetically more pleasing, leather can suffer from accidental damage or incorrect cleaning, subsequently leading to more damage.
Damage from studs on clothing and pet scratches are amongst the most common causes and long term bleaching from sunlight (UV) for sofa’s that are in direct sunlight resulting in the original manufacturers colour fading. All dyes are matched to manufactures leather samples.
All dyes are water based and have a built-in sealer so there is no need to apply a separate sealer.
Dyes can be dried using a hair dryer, so no need to wait.
Application can be by sponge or airbrush. Once dry, the colour is WATERPROOF and PERMANENT.

*********************************************************************** Frequently Asked Questions Q:My Colour Is Not Listed A:If you do not see your colour listed then this is a colour we may not have. If you are able to send us a small sample of leather no smaller than 2x2” (The bigger the sample the better the match) we will colour match a dye for you. Alternatively, if you’re unable to send a leather sample please send an interior part. We will colour match a dye to your part and return it unmarked. Q:Is Colour Matching Free A:Colour matching is completely free and we will only accept small parts. Not full seats or large interior panels. If you are sending an interior part to us for colour matching that you would like returned then all you have to pay is the return postage for this part. Q: How Long Will It Last A:Like any leather interior, renovated seat will last as long as you look after them. If your seats are subject to heavy wear then this will reduce there life span. Q: Will This Dye Come off onto my clothes A:No, dye has a built in sealer, once its dry...its dry. Q: What If My Interior Gets Wet A:Not a problem, just wipe the leather down and leave to dry.Dye's have a built in sealer, this sets when dry and no amount of water will cause it to come off onto your clothes or hands. Q: Will This Dye Remove Scratches Throughout My Interior A:Dyes covers over damaged areas. Light scratching can disappear completely while heavier scratching can still be visible but be greatly reduced to near perfect. In some cases if the heavier scratching is not what we call a “complicated scratch” then this can disappear completely. Q: Can This Dye Fill The Crease In My Leather So Its Smooth A:No, you can re-colour creases but creases in leather are like the creases in your hands. They are a natural feature which appears over time. If you were to fill the creases until smooth with leather filler or leather dye it will not be long before it cracks and starts to fall out. They are there to stay and only replacement leather will remove them completely. Q: Can This Dye Fill Cracks In The Leather. A: Some cracks in the leather can be filled as long as they are not too large or too deep. Cracking is usually caused when the leather has become very dry. Creases and Cracks are not the same. Q: Can This Dye Be Used To Colour Piping A: Piping can be as it is usually leather or vinyl (Just make sure you do not have Plastic piping). Piping is a high wear area and we recommend (although not essential) a pre-coat or EP (extra Prep) (both can be purchased from us) solution to wipe over the piping before adding the dye giving better adhesion and you can also apply an extra top coat sealer for extra protection, again not essential. Q: The Top Colour Thread Is Different To My Leather Colour A: Some interiors, Original or aftermarket have different top stitch thread colours to the leather on the seats e.g. Cream Leather with Black Top stitch , this does cause a problem. Trying to dye the leather without dying the thread can be very difficult. Dying up to the thread and then applying dye using a very thin brush is a possibility, but this will take a considerable amount of time. Q: What About My Steering Wheel A: Steering wheels made from leather can be dyed just like your seats. Q: Can The Leather Colour Be Changed A: Yes, Its advisable go for a darker colour than you already have. Light grey/Beige leathers are a good base to start with and these can even be dyed lighter. Black is a very strong colour so darker red or tans would be your best option.If you want to change a colour thats not far from what you already have then the advertised colours will ok, if you want to totally change the colour then you will need a COLOUR CHANGE dye kit, please contact us for more details. Q:Can You Dye My Seats A:Yes, as we are leather interior trimmers we are able to repair, re-dye,re-trim or renovate your interior. Please contact us for more information. Thank you for looking |
