Changing The Colour of Leather Clothes

Changing the colour of leather can be delicate. It depends on its original colour and on the colour you want to obtain. We cannot guarantee the result, in particular if you want to change from a dark colour to a light one. This procedure requires complete stripping and the result is delicate concerning the uniform aspect of the colour.
On the other hand, a colour change from light to dark is much less risky. Test on a hidden part (use our product packaging in small contents). We recommend the following steps:

1- Cleaning : It is important to work on leather which is perfectly clean. Use the Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL to remove dirt and dust, and the Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray Leather and Textile in case of sebum stains. If necessary, consult our advice cards how to clean and remove stains from leather clothes.

2- The preparation : with the help of the Stripper Saphir which will allow the liquid dye Teinture Français Liquide to perfectly attach to and penetrate the leather.

3 -Dyeing : apply a first coat of Teinture Française Liquid by starting on the least accessible areas (pleats, junctions). Only afterwards dye the larger and more accessibles flat surfaces. Do not pass twice in the same spot without letting it dry first, and do not overcharge the leather. Buff with a Shamois Cotton Cloth to remove the surplus.

- Average use approx. 500 ml per article of clothing.
- On light coloured leather, if necessary, apply a second coat after a 3 hour waiting period.

4- Finishing : after the use of liquid dye which has a tendency to dry up the leather, you must nourish your leather to give it back its shine. Choose one of the following products :
- the Juvacuir if you want to intensify the depth of the colour,
- the Lotion Saphir Médaille d'Or in neutral if the colours suits you, to add a beautiful shine.
- the Pigmenting Cream AVEL which is the top product to intensify and fix the colour.

Afterwards, use the Canadian once a year for regular care.
Consult the advice card "Care for Leather Clothes".
