  1. I have a Natuzzi in what I would say is in a dark Mocha or very Dark Brown. It was manufactured and made in Italy. I am not sure of the type of leather that was used and was wondering if you would have an idea. I would like to use the Cognac along with possible another type of brown to get a more rich vibrant color possibly even the Rust or Tobacco color. The arm rest is worn, but not to the point where is it destroyed just the top sheen layer that was used and so are the seating areas which if cleaned feels gunky. Is the color I am looking to achieve feasible and if so what colors do you recommend and what is needed for my project if it is possible. I tried to upload some photos but could not upload in the comments section. TY for your help.

  2. I have a beautiful Château Dax dark brown leather sofa. The color no longer works with my design so I want to paint it light cream. I have a very, very few scuff marks from moving it in a tight space and if I could repair those fine but if not it still is beautiful. So what is needed to prep, repair, if possible, paint and seal

  3. I have a camel coloured leather recliner set. I’d like to cover general wear and figure I may as well have a colour change at the same time. I’m worries about getting into small areas to complete a uniform look. If I don’t manage to find all the areas first go would it be ok to go back and touch up? Also, how much would I need if I’m going a little darker on a 3 and 2 seater recliner set?

  7. Lesandre, I posted a comment about a non-absorbent leather couch. I would like to purchase a couple of colors, but not sure the exact name of the product that I should be buying. I could see many different colors, but they may be for absorbent leather. Can you point me in the right direction. I’m going for a mottled look and was looking for a dark brown and maroon.
