Buttercup Vinyl & Leather Finish

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 10 customer ratings

$16.00 – $70.00

Buttercup is a light yellow daffodil finish for vinyl or leather upholstery. For a lighter, more subdued and lighter butter color, choose our Ivory.

All colors and Clear Prep+Finish™ cover the same square footage. These estimates can vary based upon quality and condition of material:

2 oz. bottle = approximately one coat on 15 – 20 square feet (or three coats on 5 – 6 square feet) = $16
4 oz. bottle = approximately one coat on 30 – 40 square feet (or three coats on 10 - 13 square feet) = $30
8 oz. bottle = approximately one coat on 60 – 80 square feet (or three coats on 20 - 26 square feet) = $48
16 oz. bottle = approximately one coat on 120 – 160 square feet (or three coats on 40 - 53 square feet) = $70

Other factors to consider:

Type of material - Real leather often restores in 1-3 coats of color. Vinyl can take an extra coat or two. Don't invest in faux leather until reading this.
Condition - Sun-rotted vinyl and worn, absorbent leather will drink up a more product than those in better condition. Use Clear Prep+Finish™ or a glaze (mix of color and Clear) as a primer.
Color change - Going from red / dark to pale will require double, perhaps even triple, the volume of color and is discouraged for this reason. Please learn more about color changes.
Touch-up - Pieces that are in rougher condition or receive heavy use (dogs, routine disinfectant cleaning) may require touch-up, particularly with color changes. This is easy, and our finishes keep well for years.
Custom Colors - 8 oz. is the order minimum; 16 oz. is a better value in light of the matching fee.

Regarding Clear Prep+Finish™:

One coat is sufficient as a topcoat and will yield a glossy finish.
Mix equal parts Clear and color for a semi-gloss topcoat.
Mix 1 part Clear with 2 or 3 parts color for a satin topcoat.
Forego for a matte finish.
Buy extra if you need it as a primer (like spa covers).

Product Notes:

Use this pigment-rich finish on aniline dyed, full-grain leather and vinyl upholstery to:

restores appearance;
seals, conditions and protects.

It applies easily with a sponge and will not alter the feel. It won’t peel or rub off onto clothing.

Each bottle comes with gloves and stir stick.

Before You Buy

Buttercup get poorer coverage than other colors, so using it to change dark or red upholstery is discouraged, as you will likely need 2-3 times the quantity of color plus Clear Prep+Finish™. Learn more about color changing.

Rub ‘n Restore® products are not recommended for fabric, suede, nubuck or bonded or faux leather. Learn more about material types or peeling bonded leather.
