Leather dye

Post by andrew.k »

Anyone know how to dye leathers?
My old one piece collecting mould in the garage could do with an update.
Is it possible to dye the whole thing black or at least the white bits?

I can't wait for the outcome to this post .........

If the dye process is anything as reliable as the shoe / glove dyes,
I have visions of Andrew walking about the town the colour of a purple grape after the first rain shower :lol: :lol:

I'm no expert but if the suit has an oil, grease or other such marks then the dye just aint gonna work
