“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.

New life to old loves

Great paint, great dye. My bags and shoes have new life

Great dyes

I'm so happy that I am able to order the same great dyes directly from you.

These came out nice! Glad you chose to revive your pair!

Easy coverage and metallic highlights

The easy of applying was surprising. I used the recommended remover of old finish. The shoes were originally blue, but lighter than I desired. I applied the navy with more than one application fairly close together and achieved a metallic highlight which I like. One coat would have looked like a lighter, like a dark denim.

Looks good

Overall really good. I may need to practice a little more with it

This is a product I’ve purchased two to three times. I just introduced to my sister. After she saw what a great job on my shoes Thanx

The products I have received are great and I will be ordering something very soon

Suede - new life

The suede dye revitalized my favorite but tired looking shoes to new looking. Easy

great colors and lasts

great colors and lasts. Easy to use

great product

I have not use them yet, but with my experienced about Angelus Direct, they have good quality leather, fabric, etc paint.

Works as I had expected

I LIKE THAT IT RESTORES THE LEATHER FULLY AS NEW

True Blue!

Great product! I applied it with airbrush and sponge. Both were exquisite! Deep, rich color without looking like paint. The grain of the leather shines through nicely. Like all Angelus great product, great result!

Too long, too expensive

I haven't used the product yet, though I expect it to be a good dye. But the shipping cost was almost more than the order itself and it took way too long to reach me to make me consider Angelus for my next projectSorry to say that, but it is the truth.

Perfect

As advertised

Navy blue review

Great product!!

Great Leather Dye

I used it to touch up rubbed areas on my navy steerhide motorcycle jacket. Looks great. 👍�

Good product!

Fine, with prompt delivery.

Awesome Product

Easy to work with, fast drying and coats evenly. Absolutely the best dyes on the market.

This Navy Blue A little too ‘black’ for me

This is very dark...too ‘black’ for me...I’m using it to dye the body of a guitar. BUT...the blue dye was a little too bright for me, so mixing in a bit of Navy Blue into the Blue worked out very nicely! So still a happy customer on the end.

Hello Jonathan! You can also use our Neutral Leather Dye to dilute our dyes in order to lighten the colors up. If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you

Very Very NICE !!!!

help in a bottle

Just what I needed!

Perfect color for what I need, very happy!

Easy to use, my shoes turned out great!

I was happy with how

I was happy with how easy I was able to liven up my faded shoes!

I bought the Navy Blue Leather Dye.

I haven't put it all on yet because I have been to busy. I did put a little on and it matched very well, I am going to see how far I get with this bottle to see how much I need, Is there any thing else to use to put the dye on the leather, it takes a long time with that little brush? Should I use the Acrylic Finisher on top of the dye?Nelva Pollema

Easy to do but the result was the wrong color

I found it easy to work with the preparer/deglazer and the navy dye. However, the blue leather shoes that I tried to dye resulted in deep purple rather than navy.

Hello!What color was the base before applying our dye?Also, it's possible too much dye was applied on those areas.If you have any more questions feel free to contact us at Info@angelusdirect.com thank you

Amazing

Lov their products!!!

paint
