Absolutely! You can recolor your leather or vinyl many again and again with Rub ‘n Restore®.
You don’t necessarily have to strip the previous color. However, less is ultimately more, because our products are a finish (paint), not a dye. The type, quality, and condition of the material as well as the current and desired colors are all factors that can affect the durability of a color change. Stripping the previous Rub ‘n Restore® color is recommended if you are restoring to original or changing to a lighter shade. Use denatured or rubbing alcohol, even paint thinner.
we used spray paint white color and it is cracking now. Can I use Run and restore pure white color on top of spray paint color?
If the spray paint is cracking off, adding more on top of it is just going to add more stress. It must be removed using the first set of instructions here.
I used a leather repair kit from another manufacturer ( Furniture Clinic) to fill and color all the cat scratches and cracks on my Ekornes recliner. I did use alcohol to degrease the entire chair first. None of the repairs are peeling off at this time. I now want to color the entire chair and ottoman with RnR navy color. Will rub n restore color cover the repairs without peeling off? Most of the repairs are on the well used center seat area. Should I use the clear coat on the final coat?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Our stuff should work fine over Furniture Clinic’s. Just follow our instructions precisely. See here about color changing, particularly if the leather is non-absorbent. Midnight Blue benefits from a clear finish. You can mix a 4:1 ratio of color to Clear Prep+Finish for a satin finish, or a greater ratio of clear for more shine. See here about glazing. You can also work with the special order Satin Sealer.
