Dying Leather...
 

Anyone do it?

I just found a bunch of cheapass leather dye online... Already bought it, so WTF, I'm going to try dying my leathers!

Tips/Tricks?

Leon just did his couch. If he doesn't chime in, send him a PM

Doing your entire couch is totally ballsy... My leathers cost me $120 and I could give a shit what I look like... if it looks like shit, well... I look like shit anyway. If it looks awesome, well... I look like shit anyway. :lol:

Yep, he dyed the leather couch. A sectional.

Came out damn good. I think because if it came out crappy, he would have to buy a new one :lol:

Seriously, PM him.

I told ya that pink wasn't cool homie

Look up Tandy leathers online. They have a nice explanation of how to dye leather.

I'll give you the short version. Clean the leather with alcohol. I used a detail gun to spray the dye on the leather, a few coats should do. Keep spraying until you get your desired color. Let that dry overnight. Then you'll spray a few coats of clear over the dye. Let that drt overnight. Then you'll apply liberal amounts of leathe softner. I did that over 5 days. Then you'll have to buff the leather to remove the excess dye.

It may sound like alot, but it's pretty easy.

Awesome... thanks mang!

before and after pics please!...i have a set of leathers i'd like to dye...not die in :p

Certainly. I actually never considered it, but a while ago I rode with a guy who was talking about how he just dyed his gloves... got some purple Teknic somethings and dyed them black. You couldn't tell at all.

Thats what i'd like to see...my leathers are black blue and white..curious to see if they can be dyed all black.

Mine a black, blue and silver... I'll be sure to report back when I'm completed.

Get to it, dickus.
