Advanced Matching & Custom Color
$90.00
We formulate a unique color to match your leather or vinyl. This formula is kept on file in case you ever need to re-order. Customization is recommended for high chroma (bright primary or secondary colors) and auto interiors.
$90 Custom Color Fee (or $60 upgrade from Color Analysis) includes:
- Professional consultation and tailored DIY solution for your project.
- Formulation and mixing the color.
- Color and Clear Prep+Finish™ are a separate cost.
- This service does not count toward free shipping.
Note: First mail us a swatch of the material (see below). We will not collect payment until after we’ve seen your swatch and discussed your project. Your color is formulated within 1-2 business days after receipt of funds.
Find a Sample
The bigger the better. Color matches will not be guaranteed on samples smaller than 2″ x 3″ size.
A sample can be any of the following:
- Cushion case
- Swatch of the original leather or vinyl (found underneath cushions, along inseams, or stapled to the frame)
- Paint chip from a hardware store
- Fuse panel cover or headrest from a vehicle (wrap carefully to protect from a box cutter)
- Piece of drapery or flatware
We match the sample you provide us. Swatches taken from under cushions or on the frame often do not resemble their faded counterparts, which means our Custom Color may not either, and you may have to refinish the entire piece. In this instance, you may prefer going with a less expensive stock option.
Photographs of your pieces are helpful in determining quantity of finish needed, but we cannot mix a color to a photograph.
Send a Sample
Please fill out and include the Custom Color Request Form. If you mail a physical component such as a headrest, cushion case, etc. we recommend insuring the item with the freight carrier in the event it is lost or damaged.

Thank you so much for walking me through your process.
It’s rare to find a product that lives up to the claims, and yours exceeds your promise.
I thought I needed to buy a new sofa but I am now happy to keep my old one.
Your quick response to all of my questions was appreciated and my order was here within two days.
I will be telling all my friends about your company.
Besides having the best customer service around, they really know their stuff.
Happy with the results. Just have a few touch ups . You did a amazing job matching the color.
Time will tell on how durable the new colors will hold, but I am really pleased with the outcome on our two 10 yr. old La-Z-Boy leather recliners. Before and after pictures attached.
FYI, we have to other leather recliners (different color) an will probably be ordering a matching dye bottle for them.

Basically, what I did was use the Forest Green as the foundation as you instructed. I then used the custom Sea Foam Green in a circular motion with the sponge. Then as a final step I mixed the Foam Green with the Forest Green to give it a faded jean type of look. In the end the sofa looks Green sometimes, Robins Blue other times, and a mix of both depending on the time of the day. Bottom line it looks like an expensive leather sofa.
Oh, and the process took about 8 hours from beginning to end. Waiting 72 hours before applying the sealer/conditioner.

I received your custom mixed color which was spot-on perfect for our old leather captains chairs.
I watched videos and followed the enclosed directions. It was scary and I was never sure if my sponge was the right dampness, or if I was really doing the process correctly.
But, your product was easy to use and very forgiving and the result is amazing. Such a difference!
Thanks for your help and for supplying such great cleaning and dying products.
Just wanted you to know that I have finished my captain chair renewal project with your products.
The instructions were clear, the dye and cleaner superb, and the process amazingly easy.
You made a custom color for me that matched the old leather perfectly. Thank you, thank you!
I highly recommend using them for all your leather/vinyl repairs and restoring.

We are amazed. We now have a new $7k leather sectional! It looks and feels brand new. We plan to use Rub and Restore to rehabilitate another couch that we had planned to kick to the curb because of the same wear related issues.
Thanks for your help…you have a great product.
Thanks again - very pleased and will recommend you to anyone who asks!
Again, Thanks.
Again, Thanks.
I previously re-dressed another Miata with the regular stock Black. It also gave me great results. Love the polyvinyl base. Very easy to use.
