Scratch Doctor All in One Leather Colourant Self Seal Leather Dye Repair Paint for Furniture, Sofas, Car Seats (Grey, 250ml)

Easy to use on a soft sponge dabbed onto sofa. Hid scratches and marks

I bought 2 of the dark green litre bottles to cover a large 4 seater sofa with removable back and base cushions. I am amazed! I have been contemplating whether to do it and I am pleased I did!The paint is thin which is great for layering to cover but once the 1st coat is on the 2nd cover very well. It dries quick and using a hairdryer speeds up the process and also blows the build up in the corners to a flatter finish (takes away the dripping effect of too much paint build up).I used a sponge roller to paint the sofa as a brush left streaks, the sponge creates a better leather like texture. One the final coat I rolled in one motion and it looks beautiful. It looked brand new!There was little to no smell and the amount I used was excellent value for money. The quality in the finish makes the sofa look amazing. During the process I spilt some soapy water on the paint and it didn't effect it so I decided to wipe down the sofa after it dried and the wash ability is fantastic!I used 1 and a half bottles and done 3 coats. I would have bought a smaller 2nd bottle but I wanted to keep some incase some areas needs a revamp down the line.This product is the best thing I have came across this year. It was so easy to use and the drying time is perfect. 10/10. I wish I knew about this product sooner!!

The media could not be loaded. This is really good stuff, but not at all like I expected. I was expecting an ink like liquid that would soak strait into the leather. This is thicker and is effectively paint. I had a mottled tan leather suite which is a large 3, large 2 and a foot stall. I did 3 coats on every seam (and there are lots of those on my sofa) and 2 coats on the suite itself, I still have quarter of a 1 litre bottle left. I bought 2,1 litre bottles and the other is completely un opened. Before I 'painted' the sofas I made sure I prepped them as best I could. I used the alcohol cleaner 1st and then the leather prep 2nd, again despite wiping over a few times I still have 3 quarters of each bottle left. With these products a little really does go a long way. For my colouring journey I used an old tupperwear tub (for the paint) a foam roller, an old paint brush, some old face flannels (for cleaning and leather prep) a hair dryer and some wooded chop sticks to hold creases apart and finally rubber gloves. I did both my sofas slightly differently and the 2nd one came out better. I did use filler on some deep scratches. This sofa is around 10-13 years old and now it looks new again. I definitely think the cleaner and prep make a real difference as I missed one spot on the back of one sofa and the way the paint adhered was much better on the prepped area. It took me around 2 1/2 hors per couch and using a hairdryer really, really helps on creases (believe me, it helps ALOT, the 1st sofa i didn't use a dryer and took alot longer) I used the old paint brush to really scrub the dye into the seams and stitching. Then rolled on the paint with the foam roller over bigger areas. Make sure you treat it like wall paint as in if you leave it bubbly or orange skin textured it will dry like that on your leather so make sure you roll it off smoothly and let it soak in. When holding apart the creases, I painted with the brush and blow dried on highest heat setting fanning it back and fourth till touch dry, then remove sticks. If you paint and let the creases touch, when you pull them apart again one side will pull off the paint from the other, plus never fully dry.The texture of the leather feels slightly tougher but not much. Textured look of the leather stays the same. Still feels like leather. I let mine cure for 24 hours and then I added on top chambers leather balm which I've always use on my sofa. I did it to give it extra protection. I'm not sure how long this dye will last. Or of it will scratch off yet. But in all for a cheap make over its 100% a great buy. Its updated my lounge just by changing the colour of the sofa and also made them look more modern. The dye really does go a long way. Be patient with it, I'd defo give yourself a weekend of no sofas as an expectation. If you dye them during the evening like I did, definitely have a day knight inspection as that's when you really do see where you missed. I dropped a few little spots onto my laminate floor and it came up no problem with my mop. Also washed easily off my hands (my glove ripped on my thumb and didn't notice. Didn't due my hands) washed out of the roller fine, did not wash out of clothes as expected.Edit:Sonits been over a month and I had a few patches where this rubbed off. Not massive patches, just where my dog had been sick on the sofa. Maybe the acid in the sick affected this as it hasn't come off anywhere else. I re painted and its been fine ever since. So keep a spare little bottle to hand just in case. I'd still use again.

I read the reviews before buying this product and am very pleased with the dye.I took me 5 coats to cover with a sponge, but I am really pleased with the results.My sofa was peeling and I bought the leather stain to cover the peeling and discolour, the dye covered well, washes off skin easily.

This goes on much better than the first brand I bought. You are able to wipe it on with a sponge rather than dab . My old cream sofas looked amazing and brand new shining black… but .. sadly there is a but .. it wears/ scratches off !After a month my sofas looked horrendous!So I now have a new chore of touching up the patches weekly or a 2 hour job once a month. I’ll add a photo of the arm redone and the seat after a month so you can compare the difference .I think this would be perfect to match small scratches but to change the colour of your sofa - don’t do it ! Unless you just need to look at it and never sit on it.I’m not sure how it can be a dye - more like a covering , a paint . Even on the areas where leather is really worn it still wears off .

Leather treatment

I used this product on 2 old leather sofas, one black and one brown and they have come up beautifully 😍...not messy to use, dries quickly without streaking and really does look good...a very professional finish...I'm extremely happy.

I bought this after reading the positive reviews and glad I did , I turned my old faded burgundy sofa and chair to a new looking one , easy to use just make sure you prep the leather beforehand, I also bought the filler as it had a few scratches and scuffs, I would recommend this product
