B.P.R 2,798 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 How do you darken the colour of leather? Just got a decent whippet collar. Only thing is the colour is a bit too bright. It's a red colour and I would like it to be a lot darker then it would be spot on. Any help or tips? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spike25blue 55 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 If the leather had been waxed it will not take on any colour You need to dewan it 1st with some like acetone or proper leather dye prep Then it will dye again You can get some dye from a cobblers shoe repair shop Atb rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
