Leather dye...

[ironbeak]

I wanna dye parts of my leathers black.
They're mostly black aside from some lame-ass blingie swooshes that look super lame.
You guys know of any good dyes or other options?
I wanna do it right.

leather dye can be found at most leather shoe repair shops. They have liquid and spraycan kinds. I did a thread on this few months go, did it to one my previous leathers.

aww crap... i thought the subject read "leather dyKe"


you can buy black leather paint and do it yourself at home. a buddy of mine did up his bright yellow axo suit in black and it looks great. you'd never be able to tell it was painted.

The problem with the spray-/paint-on stuff is that it's not very durable, in my experience. Any sort of abrasion will tend to remove the paint and the underlying color will show up. Think twice about doing this on any high-use areas (e.g. thigh, chest if you lay on the tank, inner ankle, etc).
