Professional Leather Colourant – Quality Without Compromise

Restore the factory look of your leather items with Furniture Clinic’s Professional Leather Colourant. This is not just an ordinary paint; it is a high-tech, water-based polyurethane product designed to provide a flexible, long-lasting, and wear-resistant finish.

Our colourant is engineered to "bond" with the leather, effectively becoming a second skin. It doesn't just sit on the surface; it preserves the natural softness and texture of the material without cracking or peeling.

✨ Why Choose Our Leather Colourant?

• 💎 Professional Results: Used by leading restorers and in factories manufacturing luxury automotive interiors.

• 🔄 Extreme Flexibility: The polyurethane-based formula allows the colourant to stretch and move with the leather, making it ideal for high-use items like seats and sofas.

• 🎨 High Opacity & Coverage: Highly concentrated pigments ensure rich color and complete coverage of defects, stains, or color changes.

• 🌿 Safe & Eco-Friendly: Water-based, with no harsh odors or toxic solvents. Completely safe for use in home environments.

• 🛠️ Universal Application: Suitable for furniture, car interiors, shoes, handbags, jackets, and all types of leather goods.

🛡️ Where is it Most Effective?

The colourant is ideal for the restoration of:

• Automotive Interiors: Seats, steering wheels, armrests, and door panels.

• Furniture: Sofas, armchairs, and dining chairs.

• Accessories: Handbags, shoes, belts, and wallets.

• Clothing: Leather jackets and trousers.

📝 How to Use (Brief Instructions):

For a perfect and durable result, the colourant should be used as part of a restoration system:

1. Preparation: Clean the leather with Leather Ultra Clean and remove the old factory finish with Leather Prep.

2. Priming: Apply Adhesion Promoter for maximum bonding strength.

3. Painting: Apply the colourant in thin layers using a sponge or an airbrush (spray gun).

4. Sealing: Always apply Leather Finish (lacquer) to protect the color and set the desired sheen level (Matt, Satin, or Gloss).

📦 Coverage & Storage:

• Sizes: Available in various sizes to suit your project needs.

• Coverage: 250ml is typically enough for one car steering wheel or a small armchair.

• Shelf Life: 5 years (store in a cool, dry place).

💡 Expert Tip:

If you want to achieve maximum durability (e.g., for a driver’s seat or steering wheel), add Crosslinker Eco or Crosslinker X to the final topcoat (Leather Finish). This will make the coating resistant to sweat, grease, and daily friction for years to come.

🎨 Color Palette & Mixing Guide

Furniture Clinic Leather Colourants are designed to be fully compatible with one another. This means you can mix any two (or more) colors to create the exact unique shade required for your project.

Base Colors and Their Roles

🛠️ How to Mix Your Perfect Color:

Follow these steps to avoid mistakes and paint waste:

1. Start with the closest base color: Choose the color that most resembles your leather (e.g., Medium Brown).

2. Add small amounts (drop by drop): The pigments are very strong. Always add the "toner" (the color you are using to adjust the shade) gradually. It is much easier to darken a color than to lighten it back up.

3. Mix thoroughly: Use a clean stirrer until the color is completely uniform.

4. Important: Test and Dry! Paint looks different when wet versus dry (it usually becomes slightly darker once dry). Apply a small amount in an inconspicuous area and dry it with a hair dryer to see the true final result.

💡 Popular Mixing Examples:

• Beige: White base + a little Yellow + a tiny amount of Brown.

• Anthracite: Black base + a little White + a drop of Blue for a "cool" effect.

• Terracotta: Brown base + Red + a little Yellow.

• Cream: White base + a drop of Yellow.

📋 Pro Tip for Blending:

If you are restoring only one area of a sofa or seat, always aim to "fade" or "blend" the paint into the surrounding areas. This technique makes any slight shade differences invisible to the eye.
