    Re-dying leather a different colour

    I've read a few threads on people re-dying leather and seen the immediate results looking good. But I was wondering how the colour faired over time?

    Through general searching of the web some people complain that the colour rubs off but this could be due to not finishing the leather properly? I'm contemplating re-dying white leather to black btw which has to be easier than the other way around!

    Any advise would be great.

        When I last looked into this there was a company that specialises in it and after buying the kit + my time, I decided that spending the extra couple of quid to have it done properly was worth it.

        Unfortunately that was a couple of years ago, I ended up buying a different interior and never needed to go down that route, I am sure a wee bit searching and you will find a company local to you that does this.
