CarbusonicBlack leather dye paint for Sofas, Shoes, Handbags, Car seats, Jackets, 500ml Leather Colourant Kit. Hard Wearing Scuff & Scratch Resistant, For Leather, Vinyl Built in Sealer. Restores Faded Leather.

As I have mentioned in other reviews, I like refurbishing old furniture, but I have only refurbished wooden furniture before.After recently moving house, I bought two leather sofas (in reasonable condition) from a charity shop, but I didn't like the colours (navy and brown), so the intention was always to change the colour to black.Started with the two-seater (cheaper/poorer condition) sofa first - needed less than 250ml for a single coat. Worked beautifully, so a week later, I set to work on the three-seater (more expensive/better condition), but as I mentioned earlier, I didn't like the colour. Worked just as well!Both sofas only needed one coat, and both now look like new. I purchased a total of two bottles (750 mls total volume) and there is lots left - probably enough to do my Mum's three-seater sofa which is in poorer condition than my own.Be prepared for one or two hours of hard work, though - a good clean beforehand is necessary. And, although the liquid is easy to apply, do not underestimate how long it takes to apply to a sofa (especially the "hidden" bits between cushions, etc). !f you work in a warm room, you will work up a sweat, but it is 100% worth it!Although the instructions state that 2-3 coats are necessary, I suspect this will depend upon the absorbency of the leather. In my case, one coat was definitely enough; I see no need to apply extra coats as the result has been so good with a single coat.Materials used:Disposable vinyl gloves (tip: DOUBLE-GLOVE if using these, as they tend to split a little during use, and it's not easy to remove the dye from underneath your nails, even with white spirit - trust me on this!).Kitchen cleaner spray to clean before dyeing.Materials used: 250mls + 500mls bottles of dye.A simple kitchen-style sponge scourer (use the soft side ONLY!) to apply the dye.Disposable dishcloths and white spirit to mop up any drips on the laminate floor.NO hairdryer! - Air-dries quickly (only a few hours) in a warm room.I really can't fault this product, so 5/5 stars all-round from me.(Photo shows the sofa which was previously brown in colour).

I was a bit sceptical regarding this product but that soon disappeared on the first application I could not believe the results my car seats were tired and worn now they look like new .I can only recommend this product to make leather new again

Have a faux leater sofa and 2 chairs this product has let me keep renewing them every couple of years. Has definitely extended its life.Fill any little holes with leater filler and apply 2 or 3 coats looks excellent.

So easy to use, with sponge, brush and cloth. Goes on so easy and a little goes a very long way. Dries quickly no brush marks, needed a second coat to give flawless cover. I used black but i would love a wider range of colours in same product. It worked wonders on a Ted Baker bag where the corners had been scraped. It looks brand new.well pleased.

Great product. Turned a worn-out old brown leather sofa into a modern looking black sofa. Used three coats to give a great finish. All done within a couple of hours. In the afternoon and was sitting on it watching TV in the evening.

Be careful I ordered this item and it was amazing covered a 3 seat leather sofa and a large chair with ease, the liquid was thick and covered so well only one coat was needed. To do the other chairs I had to order another bottle only this time it is like water with no pigment il be lucky if I get to cover one chair the amount of layers it’s going to need. Bare in mind the sofa in question is very dark purple. Overall very inconsistent in the bottle but if you get the thicker one it’s amazing

So love this stuff , wanted to change the colour from red to black , used fabric spray paint to start with , but it just made the leather oily and some places sticky, so thought I would give this stuff ago as reviews were really good . Took a lot a prep work , had to rub it down with alcohol, so used beat alcohol, ( obviously not my gin lol ) used the other half’s Jameson’s about 10 shots 😂😂then rubbed it down with sand paper to get rid of the sticky areas . Then started applying this product . Used a sponge and def recommend a good supply of disposable gloves , didn’t use a hair dryer as was doing it outside . Can’t really say how many coats I done as just kept re applying over two days . Don’t be disheartened when applying first coat as doesn’t really change the colour much , but from second coat onwards you can really see it transforming . Probably used about half the bottle. So wished I had used this from the start . Will def use this product in the future.

Used this product on my sofa, it was easy enough to apply but unfortunately after a week it is already cracking, and pealing off
