Suede Dye

Suede dye is an alcohol-based formula that penetrates deep into suede fibers, effectively restoring faded color and adding vibrant, long-lasting hues. It offers multiple benefits, including the ability to recolor, brighten, and restore the nap’s softness. 

When properly sealed, suede dye also enhances water resistance, making your items more durable and resilient. Typical applications include suede shoes, bags, upholstery, and other suede materials that require a fresh, vibrant look.

Follow this concise, step-by-step guide to achieve flawless color coverage with suede dye for a professional result.

Preparing Suede Surfaces

Preparation is key to achieving an even, long-lasting result. Start by cleaning the suede with a crepe brush or suede eraser to remove dirt and debris.

You can also use painters tape to cover any non-suede areas, ensuring no dye gets onto unwanted surfaces. However, if your item has a previous finish, apply a deglazer to remove it, allowing the dye to penetrate properly.

Application Techniques

For even application, use a wool dauber, soft-bristled brush, or sponge. Apply thin, even coats of dye, working it into seams and edges to prevent streaks. 

Always work with a light hand to avoid over-saturation, which can lead to uneven coloring. Building up layers gradually will ensure better coverage and a smoother finish.

After the dye has dried, gently brush the surface to remove any excess dye. This helps prevent color bleed or transfer.

To keep your dyed suede items vibrant and in excellent condition, follow these simple care and maintenance steps:

Sealing & Protecting

After dyeing, apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray. This will help prevent dye bleed and keep your suede protected from dirt and moisture. 

Just make sure the item is completely dry before applying the protective spray for optimal results.

Routine Brush-Up & Touch-Ups

Regularly brush your suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and maintain its texture. For fading areas, use a small dauber to touch up the color. 

You can also reapply the protective spray as needed to preserve the color and protect the suede. To ensure thorough restoration, consider using the Angelus Nubuck & Suede Kit and Angelus Suede Renew.
