Black Leather Dye Paint, 500ml

As I have mentioned in other reviews, I like refurbishing old furniture, but I have only refurbished wooden furniture before.After recently moving house, I bought two leather sofas (in reasonable condition) from a charity shop, but I didn't like the colours (navy and brown), so the intention was always to change the colour to black.Started with the two-seater (cheaper/poorer condition) sofa first - needed less than 250ml for a single coat. Worked beautifully, so a week later, I set to work on the three-seater (more expensive/better condition), but as I mentioned earlier, I didn't like the colour. Worked just as well!Both sofas only needed one coat, and both now look like new. I purchased a total of two bottles (750 mls total volume) and there is lots left - probably enough to do my Mum's three-seater sofa which is in poorer condition than my own.Be prepared for one or two hours of hard work, though - a good clean beforehand is necessary. And, although the liquid is easy to apply, do not underestimate how long it takes to apply to a sofa (especially the "hidden" bits between cushions, etc). !f you work in a warm room, you will work up a sweat, but it is 100% worth it!Although the instructions state that 2-3 coats are necessary, I suspect this will depend upon the absorbency of the leather. In my case, one coat was definitely enough; I see no need to apply extra coats as the result has been so good with a single coat.Materials used:Disposable vinyl gloves (tip: DOUBLE-GLOVE if using these, as they tend to split a little during use, and it's not easy to remove the dye from underneath your nails, even with white spirit - trust me on this!).Kitchen cleaner spray to clean before dyeing.Materials used: 250mls + 500mls bottles of dye.A simple kitchen-style sponge scourer (use the soft side ONLY!) to apply the dye.Disposable dishcloths and white spirit to mop up any drips on the laminate floor.NO hairdryer! - Air-dries quickly (only a few hours) in a warm room.I really can't fault this product, so 5/5 stars all-round from me.(Photo shows the sofa which was previously brown in colour).

This is very good product. Used for my faux leather bed and HeadboardBut it had been opened and used by someone else before me and bottle was mucky

So easy to use, with sponge, brush and cloth. Goes on so easy and a little goes a very long way. Dries quickly no brush marks, needed a second coat to give flawless cover. I used black but i would love a wider range of colours in same product. It worked wonders on a Ted Baker bag where the corners had been scraped. It looks brand new.well pleased.

Great product. Turned a worn-out old brown leather sofa into a modern looking black sofa. Used three coats to give a great finish. All done within a couple of hours. In the afternoon and was sitting on it watching TV in the evening.

I'm really enthousiastic with this product, it transformed my armchair -I let the photos speak! The little secret I found out about its use is to use very very small amount of the product for each layer and wait for at least 4 hours to dry, even if it seems that it dried after 5 minutes. At the first and second layer might seem that it doesn't work enough to cover the old color, but if you have patience, the last (fourth) layer will give you a result as if your furniture was bought in the new color at first place!I colored a leather jacket with this as well, the result is amazing again! In the jacket I didn't wait for so long for each layer to dry.I mean the armchair is supposed to be more stressed by use of sitting, so more easily to peel off, while the use of jacket should be gentler anyway.

Had high hopes especially after the reviews but severely disappointed. Firstly it is a paint not a dye. It took me about a week to do my chair and sofa after the prep and then each coat. You have to dab it on like you are blending makeup,you can’t just brush it on or wipe it on with a sponge. That took an age! It is has a very thin consistency so multiple coats are needed. It does dry quickly which is a plus. I finally got my sofas looking black and within a week,it was sealed multiple times with a leather furniture sealer wax. in the creases of the leather the paint has come off which I find extremely infuriating. It took a lot of effort and time for it to start wearing off within a week is extremely disappointing.Edit: the last 2 pictures show how it looks now, 2 weeks on. Would remove all stars if I could

So love this stuff , wanted to change the colour from red to black , used fabric spray paint to start with , but it just made the leather oily and some places sticky, so thought I would give this stuff ago as reviews were really good . Took a lot a prep work , had to rub it down with alcohol, so used beat alcohol, ( obviously not my gin lol ) used the other half’s Jameson’s about 10 shots 😂😂then rubbed it down with sand paper to get rid of the sticky areas . Then started applying this product . Used a sponge and def recommend a good supply of disposable gloves , didn’t use a hair dryer as was doing it outside . Can’t really say how many coats I done as just kept re applying over two days . Don’t be disheartened when applying first coat as doesn’t really change the colour much , but from second coat onwards you can really see it transforming . Probably used about half the bottle. So wished I had used this from the start . Will def use this product in the future.

Not great ave to put lots on and hard to polish up
