Colouring 2 toned leather
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2019 9:34 am
Hi, I'm a new member but have been doing this for over 15 years.
I've noticed on your videos and book that you don't rub down the leather with acetone after cleaning before you apply the new colour. You use the sg4 primer then colour. Is this right?
Ive been taught to clean then rub down the leather with acetone to remove the top coat so you get down to colour then your ok to colour. This is very time consuming and messy. Especially on two toned leathers that have areas where the print coat is coming away in wear areas.
So what I'm asking is it OK just to clean then prime with sg4 then colour?
This would speed everything up as you can imagine.
I do alot of on site jobs where I pretty much clean, then put the same colour back on and seal. This makes it look a lot better. Am I right in saying that colour won't stick to the top coat so either it has to be removed with acetone or use the sg4?
There's also a product called methoxy propanol, I've been told that this is also used to remove the top coat. Sorry for all the questions.
Cheers
Stuart
