Re: [DML] Leather Dye

I have had good success with a product called Leatherique.  They
can color match any leather dye.  All you need is a sample you 
can send them.  They also have a line of leather cleaning and 
conditioning products that are excellent.  

You can find Leatherique at:

www.leatherique.com


The hardest part of the entire redyeing process is convincing 
yourself that it is ok to wet-sand your leather to remove the
old dye.  Just remember to stop before you start makikng suede.
For best results, you will need an airbrush to apply the new dye.
