Beautiful! We just got two maroon colored couches, wondering if we could color them a light gray? Or do you generally need to be going darker than the original color?
Hi Darryl, your video helped me when I repainted my sofa 3 days ago. I absolutely LOVED the change and my sofa looked like a brand new sofa. unfortunately, after I coated it with a 4 coat urethane satin layer, it became dull and streaky and has ruined my wo derdul pai nt job. please help me, can I either remove this r urethane layer without ruining the new paint OR can I just repaint another layer of brown OVER the top coat and then just NOT paint a topcoat of urethane over this new layer? will the paint hold onto urethane OR do I need to remove the urethane layer? Can I may be use the deglazer to remove this Or will it strip the paint? I am so depressed cos it looked SO good yday before I added this horrible urethane layer on top and No one seems to be able to help me, not even the company I bought this from so I thought I'd ask you. Thanks in advance 🙏😊
Really like your video. In your opinion what is the very best leather stain to buy? I am just retired commercial painter. In my trade the best paints were always the most toxic. I see leather stains are acrylic now. I live on an island in southeast alaska. No stores here but I can get Amazon/ mail. In your opinion what product do I go with? Great video!!!
The Leather Industry is very eco-friendly - for you, always use water-based products purchased through a well-known leather chemical company such as STAHL. Most leathers can be recoloured, but a full aniline will be easiest.
Hi i did this to change my pearl white couch to white and the guys i found are painting with the proper professional procedures and they have painted and coated my couch a large number of times but it still Keeps cracking and revealing the original color in those cracks after a week or so. Anything to correct this issue?
Good video, but this looks more like a paint going on top of the leather, rather than dying the leather a new colour. Is that the case, and are there different processes for painting vs dying? Thanks.
Thanks for your comment, a couple of things. Dyes are transparent and pigments are opaque. We never use the term 'paint' as it has all sorts of connotations, we prefer recolour or refinish. In this video we used pigments which are opaque and will cover. For example, you can change a black leather lounge to white using pigments. Dyes are used for an aniline natural effect. There are definitely different processes.
I hired someone to do this job and just realized I made a huge mistake….she didn’t prepare the leather or do any of the steps you did … my sofa feels rough and cracked I don’t know how to bring it back 😢 !!
@@MrJose790'm considering changing my brown leather couch to a tan color. If you don't mind, can you please explain what you mean by 'downgrading.' Thank you.
I never knew you could do that! that's so cool!
شكرا لك ، لقد منحتني فكرة جيدة لمنح أريكتي حياة جديدة 👍
What type of paint did u use and primer?

you can go any colour you like, however, going lighter will always require more coats/work.
Jaw dropping!

@@leatherfinishing ok. I’ll look in the company STAHL. Appreciate your help
What is all the products you used for this, the finish is amazing
We used Stahl products in our RTU leather finishing system
@@leatherfinishing thank you for replying, going to give it a try

thanks for your comments, when recoloring leather, preparation of the leather is so important - poor preparation = poor adhesion.
Hello great video. Can you please tell me which dye you used?
Yet another one that doesn't reply to comments, grrrr!
He actually answered that question numerous times, STAHL products. You get more pertinent info n you have time to read them all.
So close to touching the white over the blue line.
What’s the product name?
RTU water-based leather repair system, available from Leather Finishing Products Australia

Because paint is paint, For instructional purposes this video is good; but in the practice you are downgrading the leather.

@MrJose790 But how does it get it's colour in the first place? It's not from a green cow is it?
Something missing from this video..
Awesome
