Dye with Primer for Natural and Synthetic Leather Shoes, Kaps Super Color and Preparer, 70 Colors (117 - Navy Blue)

This dye is awesome! I used the morello cherry color over a light brown and it turned out exactly how I wanted: a dark red, oxblood-like color. The dye is very true to it's color as pictured online and when you see it in the bottle. One coat looked great amazing. And while it covered up the original color entirely, the grain of the faux leather still showed through, which is awesome. It's also easy to apply - you just shake the crap out of the dye bottle to make sure it's an even color, rub the primer on, then paint your dye on the shoe. 24 hours later: BAM! New shoes! The bottle is pretty small, though, so I would get two if you're dying something bigger than a pair of ankle-high shoes (like knee-high boots or a jacket). I was planning to do both (boots & a jacket), but only bought one bottle to make sure it was the color I wanted. One bottle of dye aaaalllllmost covered both boots entirely in one coat. I bought a second bottle to finish up the last part of the second boot.

I bought this dye in hopes of fixing up my weather worn saddlebags. I must say it exceeded my expectations. I may have to update my review after a season of riding to see how it holds up. For now, however, I am impressed. They look like new.

I died a pair of brown patent leather shoes black, and you totally can't tell that they were ever brown. They even retained their shine! Just be careful not to wear them for the full 48 hours after you dye them, and maybe even a little longer. They can in fact still scuff back to their original color, but the dye holds pretty darn well. It doesn't crack or rub off easily. The instructions are poor English however. This made it a little hard to work out what to do when I got the product. Apply the preparer liquid first if it's not real leather, then dry the item thoroughly. Next, apply the dye by buffing it in using a small circular motion using the rough side of the tiny sponge they provide, or else use your own bigger sponge of a similar texture. Be careful not to use a sponge which will absorb all the dye. You'll waste it that way- this package is small.

I can't be more pleased. Read the reveiws...follow the instructions and you will be too. My vintage shoes had a lot of scratches and even a knick. I did 4 coats over 4 days so drying would take (3 would have sufficed, but 4 was even better). They look like new. I can't believe how easy it was. I do love DIY and taking risks. This was no problem. A novice could do it. The lilac was a little lighter than I expected. My shoes were more lavender, but Kaps didn't seem to have that color. The lighter color covered nicely, just a bit more feminine a color than I would have liked.

This worked great with 2 coats for the leather piping on my change purse. However, the brush that came with the product was much too fat and clumsy to use on the piping area, so I had to purchase a separate, narrow natural brush to use with the dye. It was also fast drying, so that could be good or bad depending upon your coordination. I learned that I had to paint one side quickly, then go to another section. Also, I bought the black color because it came with the cleaner. I needed white, but it did not come as a set. (That's why the photo is of white piping) If a different brush came with this and the white dye came with the cleaner, I would have given the product more stars.

I was terribly upset when two small (droplet-size) spots showed up on the armrest of our deep burgundy armchair a couple of days before Christmas! My husband must have "dripped" something caustic on it. Anyway, the original dye color was erased and the leather shown was very smooth and beige. Nothing would stick to it when I tried using markers, etc. So I turned to Amazon and found this product! And the price was perfect for this small job. I used the detailed color chart, picked red mahogany, and the choice turned out to be an exceptionally close match for my chair. The instructions indicated I should use the "preparer" to remove underlying dirt, stains, and old dye. But I discovered that I could simply skip that step (the area was clean already) and applied the new dye directly. And it worked! It blended perfectly into the surrounding leather! And it dried really fast - my armchair was back in service within a couple of hours. I didn't have to wait the recommended 48 hours. It's just the coolest product out there. For small spots, I'd recommend you get a small water-color size brush to apply it; there wasn't one in the small box I received. Or maybe use a little sponge. Anyway, this product saved my Christmas...no need to hide the armchair from visitors. In fact, I got compliments on it; no one was aware of the fix. A win-win for all.

Navy blue ordered but color dried black. I followed all stirring and application instructions on my new $85 leather sandals. I quit at 1 shoe.

I was so much in love with a pair of sandals that I have, I wore them every day for the past couple of summers. Now that the color is ruined, I bought this shoe dye in the sand Color and dyed them. I must say I'm very happy because now my sandals are looking brand new again. Thanks to the company for providing such awesome solution so I can wear my favorite sandals again this summer. I definitely will buy this product again, Awesome. And by the way, it's very easy to use.

مصدومة بجمال النتيجه و سهولة الاستخدام كان عندي جزمة جلد فاتح من براند تهالكت من لبستين و استحيت البسها بعدها لين ماصبغتها بذا تفتح النفسس و رجعت البسها كانت من tod’s

Ich habe meine alten, häßlichen aber sehr bequemen Schuhe zuerst etwas mit Seife gewaschen und danach den beiliegenden Preparer aufgetragen. Nach dem Trocknen die Farbe mit einem Pinsel aufgetragen, nach kurzer Trocknungszeit nochmals. Auf jeden Fall ist es schnell gegangen und gut geworden, auch wenn das Leder etwas hart geworden ist, das sicher aber auch durch das Waschen vorher.

The colour really impressed me straight away — it’s a soft, understated shade rather than a brash gold, and it matched the photos on Amazon perfectly. Once I started using the kit, I found the instructions clear and easy to follow, so the whole process was very straightforward. The product itself is versatile and works on a wide range of leather items, and every piece I tried it on came out looking great. Coverage was excellent, and it dried much quicker than I expected, which made the job feel even easier. I’m genuinely pleased with the final result. The colour has stayed put, the finish looks clean and even, and I’m really chuffed with how it turned out. I’d happily buy it again.

Bon produit

This product delivered exactly the result it said it would - the colour is good , the finish looks as if it was purchased like that - and application was easy
