★★★★★Restoration

“Chair looks like new.”

Your dye worked great. Enabled us to touch up a 50 year old wing chair whose finish was deteriorating. Had not been able to match the color locally.

“Perfect dyes for guitar staining.”

I purchased the brown, yellow, orange, and jet black dyes for a guitar project, and they did NOT disappoint. Having no prior staining experience made the project a bit daunting, but the colors were as advertised…

Dyeing leather is different from painting—it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint. The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red. Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

DYEING SMOOTH LEATHER WITH ANGELUS LEATHER DYE

1. Prep by wiping down leather with leather preparer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag.

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. Wipe down with microfiber towel to remove all lint.

3. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

4. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required.

5. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even.

6. Leave to dry. You may see a tint, bronzing, or any different finish. Do not panic! This is just residual dye on the surface.

7. (Optional) Wipe with a microfiber towel to remove excess dye pigment. If there is still a sheen or tint use some alcohol on said microfiber and wipe down quickly. Do not let the alcohol sit on the item or else you risk lifting some of the dye and discoloring. Once done the tint should disappear and it will just be the color.

8. If you wish to dye the item more of the color complete steps 5-7 again.

9. If you are looking to protect and nourish the leather we suggest using Angelus Leather Balm or Neutral Angelus Shoe Polish. If you do not want the shine of the shoe polish just lightly buff versus a full buff to shine. If you dyed the article a black or brown we would suggest even buffing with a colored shoe polish or Lustre Cream.

DYEING SUEDE WITH ANGELUS SUEDE DYE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the suede material.

2. You cannot "SPOT TREAT" suede. Please make sure to fully wash/clean the entire surface to avoid water spots.

3. If the suede feels hard in texture, there is too much product in the material. Use a suede brush to loosen the suede. You can also use a soft bristle brush and water to pull out the cleaner. Let it dry, then you can continue.

4. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

5. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required.

6. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even.

7. Leave to dry for a few hours.

8. Using our Suede Kit brush or a strong bristled brush, break up the suede to bring it back to its natural feel. Be careful to not let residual dye get on other parts while brushing excess off. This will help the suede feel original again as well as remove excess dye so not run in case it gets wet.

9. (Optional)We highly recommend spraying down with our Water Repellent or Mink Oil Aerosol. Dyeing leather is different from painting—it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint. The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red. Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

Good to know

Leather dye questions, answered

Quick answers from our counter staff.

Do I need to deglaze before dyeing?

Yes. The factory finish blocks dye from soaking in, so strip it first with Leather Preparer & Deglazer.

How is dye different from paint?

Dye soaks in; paint sits on top. Dye takes on the color underneath, so red dye on white leather turns pink. Our dyes are alcohol based and our paints are water based.

Can it make leather lighter?

Dye works best going darker. It's made to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Test a hidden spot first.

Can I mix leather dye colors?

Yes. Angelus leather dyes mix with each other. Mixing dye takes more testing than mixing paint, and don't mix leather and suede dyes together.

Leather dye or suede dye?

Leather dye for smooth leather, suede dye for suede. Leather dye is stronger and can make suede hard instead of soft.

Can it ship to California or outside the U.S.?

Regular leather dye ships within the U.S., except California. Low VOC Leather Dye ships everywhere, California included.

Works on Wood!

Incredible colors, very easy to use. Put this on some unfinished pine furniture and it came out lovely

Great quality

Great product, good delivery time. Ordered first time for a curly maple truck bed project.Testing turned out great. Will use again!

Brightness: not a bright orange

This orange is not a bright pumpkin orange but rather a more dull brownish orange. I wanted to touch up a bright orange leather belt. Unfortunately the resulting color is more brown than orange. See photo. Top, narrower belt shows the original color. The bottom belt shows same colored belt after applying Angelus Orange dye.

Sorry to hear that! Since dyes penetrate into the leather, the color of the orange will most likely be mixed with the color tone of the belt. We do have paints that would definitely give you a more vibrant orange if you'd like to take a look at those!

The perfect pumpkin orange!

This is the most beautiful orange! I use it to create my "natural" pumpkin bags! Holds really well when wet molding and I am always amazed with the final results!

Way better than fiebings

I wanted to try an orange dye other than fiebings and I am very impressed! I wet mold my pumpkin bags and this color stayed in the leather and is such a beautiful result!

Best alcohol dyes made

Great dye color. I use it to make camo colors. Alcohol dyes are the only way to go and Angelus is the best of them.
