How to dye Recolour your seats, steering wheel and upholstery with our car leather paints!

Dyeing leather typically refers to the process of coloring or recoloring leather throughout its substance. This is the case with aniline leather and the sheepskin used in club chairs.
The leathers selected by car manufacturers are predominantly pigmented. Therefore, if you wish to recolor your car's leather interior, you will need to order our Pigment Recolorant, which is perfectly suited for this purpose. This surface coloring product easily and durably covers and conceals stains and visible defects.

Being particularly fragile, leather is a material that must be used with care. Despite all precautions, leather tends to get damaged over time and lose its luster. To remedy this, it is advisable to use the most suitable products to restore all the beauty and suppleness of the leather. In order to effectively recolor your seats and various leather parts of your vehicle, Sofolk offers you various products today to ensure that the leather in your car is always in good condition. 

To achieve the best possible result when dyeing your seats, it is essential to follow several steps. To help you in carrying out this operation, we present here all the steps you should follow.

1- Clean and prepare the leather

Preparing the surface is a crucial step. Before proceeding with a dyeing operation on your leather seats, it is first necessary to thoroughly clean the surface you wish to recolor. The cleaning step is imperative for the dye product to adhere maximally and for the final result to be as optimal as possible. To ensure your seats are perfectly clean, do not hesitate to use our products specially designed for cleaning leather surfaces.

2- Repair the leather

After thoroughly cleaning the areas to be recolored, you may proceed to renovate the various areas to be dyed. Indeed, over time, it is not impossible that your leather may be scratched, torn, or holed in some places. If you wish to dye your seats, take the opportunity to repair the different leather parts of your car.

3- Recoloring the seats

Once your seats are perfectly clean and repaired, you can begin the dyeing step. For this, we offer different products perfectly suited for all types and colors of leather. Indeed, our wide range includes various car leather dye colors. If you do not find the color you want, you can use our color chart or send us a sample. We can then offer you a tailor-made product to restore the original appearance of your leather seats.

4- Protective Varnish

To ensure that the recoloration of your car's leather is as durable as possible, it is important to think about finishing touches. For this step, Sofolk offers a wide range of protective varnishes to ensure that the color of your leather seats lasts as long as possible. A good finish will help prevent premature wear of your seats and discoloration of the various leather parts.

5- Rehydration of the leather

It is important to nourish the leather about 30 days after renovating your car upholstery so that it becomes supple and comfortable again.

Temperature variations, friction, sunlight, and lack of maintenance are the main factors that lead to the degradation of leather over time.
Fortunately, leather is a fabulous material that can be easily recolored!
