Paint for leather

Leather products have been popular since ancient times. This material is attractive due to its strength, practicality and long life. Our ancestors were well aware of this, so leather products were always appreciated.

It often happens that when the color of such products fades or the paint is wiped off, the owners throw them away. And they act in this way only because they do not know: leather products can be updated by painting. Paint for the skin will help restore the old look of the thing without much trouble. Painting leather products in fact is not so troublesome, the main thing is to carefully study the technique of painting them and buy the dye of the desired color.

There are two methods of painting leather things: superficial and deep. Surface painting is much easier than deep painting, as it is done by spraying paint from the can or partially applying it to the desired area with a brush. Paint for the skin in this case is evenly applied to the surface of the product and gives it a uniform tone. This method of staining is great for painting small scuffs and scratches. But for a complete painting of the product this method does not always work, although you need to pay attention to the area of scuffs on the skin and the presence of other defects on the surface of the product - for example, scratches.

If a thing is worn very badly, or there is a desire to radically change the color of the product, then you can not do without deep painting. The answer to the question of how to paint the skin is as follows: the process consists in immersing the leather thing in a container with a dye, which must first be selected in accordance with the color range of the product. Before proceeding to a deep method of dyeing leather products, the first thing you will need to do is to clean the thing of dirt, if any, and soak it in warm water until it gets completely wet. The second step is the dilution of paint in the basin or any other container.

To do this, the skin paint is poured with warm water, thoroughly mixed and filtered through a sieve. To filter it is necessary - otherwise small lumps can leave terrible specks on the painted product. The third thing to do is take a filtered liquid, pour it into a pan or iron pail, add 2-3 liters of water (the exact amount to look on the package) and boil. After cool this liquid to 40-45 degrees. The main thing is that it is by no means very hot, otherwise you can spoil the product. Then take this solution and pour it into the container in which the painting will take place.

You need to get the wet leather thing out of the water, carefully squeeze it and immerse it in a container with a dye. Staining will take a little time, just before the solution cools. When the solution has cooled, remove the thing and rinse it well in cold water. The last step in coloring is the fixation of the dye. To do this, mix 1 liter of water, a tablespoon of salt and 200 ml of vinegar, and then place the product in this solution. If a thing is large, then increase the number of ingredients in the appropriate proportions. After 5-10 minutes, remove the thing, gently squeeze it and dry it, spreading it on a hard surface. That's all: it is transformed and shines like new.

Agree, the implementation of all these procedures will not take you much time, but the result will surpass all expectations. Now you know how to paint the skin and products from it, so if you have any leather products that have lost their previous appearance, you can safely proceed to the procedures described above. Paint for leather is sold in almost all large stores, so it is not difficult to purchase at all.
