Everything turned out perfect on that old 1948 motorcycle leather seat project.. I managed to save it and bring it back to life while still keeping the original character. ended up doing a blend of the espresso and black to give it an aged appearance. Ā  Thank you again for all your help.

I finished re-staining the Natuzzi furniture. It only needed one coat of color! The mixture was two parts mahogany to one part rust to one part cherry wood. I applied it with a rag for one coat. And then applied two coats of the clear with sponge. Ā I would give it five stars! The whole project was fairly simple and was doable in a weekend which included prepping the surfaces with the alcohol, sanding rough spots, prepping with the clear on worn areas, applying the color and then the two clear coats. Ā I feel like I like I have new furniture!

The Rust worked! 2 oz. restored most of the ottoman. I'm ordering more for the rest of the furniture.

I fixed a two inch hole in the corner of my sofa and the used the wine color to give it a new look. Ā Came out great, looks brand new. Ā The sofa also was left in a south window, so was bleached out. Ā I would highly recommend the product. Ā It was easy to use and much cheaper than having a professional do the work.

I started my project and it's going great! This is the couch, which was the most damaged, with two coats of 2/3rds Cherrywood, 1/3rd Mahogany.

I finished with a glaze of 2 parts dye 1 part Clear.

My friends are loving the progress!

I primed with clear prep and finish, then complete base of Mahogany, then I did a glaze with clear prep and Cherrywood and tried to a a mottled look with the cherrywood as your video demonstrates, but it was too pronounced. So I quickly wiped it all down with a sponge with clear prep on it and I got the two tone with Mahogany base and Cherrywood highlights. I topped it with one coat of clear prep and finish. We think it turned out really well. We paid $4,000 for this sectional brand new and the surface broke down soon after we bought it and it became a mess.

I am thrilled with the whole process! I emailed the before pics and received a prompt email back with suggestions and advice. The project was easy to complete with all the information on the website, even for a newbie like me who spontaneously decided that I need my comfy leather chair back in my bedroom during COVID quarantine, but not looking like it did. It came out even better than I imagined!! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

I bought this leather sofa on craigslist for $200. It was a great deal, sells at Nieman Marcus for $4000. But it was not my style at all so I wanted too give it a major makeover. I found your product online, watched several vids and decided to give it a try. I did a mix of 3 parts stone and 1 part Slate.Ā  I do have about a whole bottle left over for touch ups but I will be doing some 1940ā€™s modern chairs pretty soon. Worked amazing! I was really impressed with your product. I wrapped the frame in Pecan wood and it turned out very beautiful.

2 years ago I used this on my spa cover. Now it was time to do it again. Each time I use it, it gives me more life out of the cover. It's now over 5 years old & with this dye I'll get 2 more years. Maybe I'll be using one more time to get 10 years out of this cover.
It's a good product, & easy to apply.
