Our Leather Colours come Satin-Gloss finish, but we also do a Dulling Agent to lower the gloss level if needed.

We have found that the only difference between 4 of Plushes Blacks (PL - Black) is the gloss level.

Hey Tim, Just wanted to tell you how pleased I am about my repair kit and you matched the colour perfectly. The kit has really worked some magic on the scratches on the chair.
Thanks again for all your help, it’s very much appreciated.

Thank for supplying such a great product. We used the supplied shade toners with the selected colour as well as looked up a YouTube instruction (little at a time and let it dry completely) and received a lovely result.
The product worked beautifully and saved us heaps of money!

Thanks so much for your assistance with the repair kit. It arrived and I have used it to colour the patch in my sofa.
I want to say that it is a wonderful product with instructions that were clear and easy to follow.
What a great product it is. Congratulations, Couchguard, for your product and the innovative way you package it with the instructions on the box. Marvellous!! Iâ€™ll be spreading the word about your products.

Hey guys, just used your leather colour kit to give my 10 year old leather couches a make over. Very very impressed, I was apprehensive about using and matching the colour but the dark brown matched perfectly. Thanks a million.

How To Use This Product

CouchGuard® Leather Repair Directions:

Simply read these easy to follow directions and your lounge will be like new again in no time at all!

REMEMBER:
Dirty leather needs to be completely cleaned with CouchGuard® Deep Leather Cleaner before using the Leather Prep.
DO NOT use the Leather Prep on freshly coloured leather.
Poor preparation will lead to a poor finish even peeling. Take you time and be patient.

For Minor Scratches

1 Place a drop sheet or old towel around the couch to be repaired to protect floor coverings. (not supplied in the 50, 125 or 500ml kits)

2 Make sure leather is free from contaminants like body oils etc by using our Deep Leather Cleaner. (Sold Separately)

3 Spray the CouchGuard® Leather Prep onto the leather to be repaired and wipe dry. The leather prep is not a leather cleaner and the leather must be recoloured after using.

4 Lightly sand the repair area with 400 grit sand paper and 600g on the leather around around the repair.

5 Wipe away loose particals thoroughly.

6 Using the spatula provided, slowly build the flexible leather filler over the scratch. Allow to air dry.

7 If required, lightly sand with 600 grit sand paper followed by 800 grit sand paper.

8 Wipe area over with the damp biodegradable towel before appling CouchGuard® Leather Colour.

9 Clean up with water.

Tip: You may use a hairdryer to help dye quicker.

Tip: The Flexible filler is AIR DRY so keep the lid on tight when not using.

For Deeper Scratches or Scuffs

1 Place a drop sheet or old towel around the couch to be repaired to protect floor coverings. (not supplied in the 50,125 or 500ml kits)

2 Make sure leather is free from contaminants like body oils etc by using our Deep Leather Cleaner. (Sold Separately)

3 Spray the CouchGuard® Leather Prep onto the leather to be repaired and wipe dry. The leather prep is not a leather cleaner and the leather must be recoloured after using.

5 Wipe away loose particals thoroughly.

4 Using the spatula provided, slowly build the flexible leather filler over the scratch in coats. Allow each coat to air dry.

5 If required, lightly sand with 600 grit sand paper followed by 800 grit paper..

6 Wipe area over with the damp biodegradable towel before appling CouchGuard Leather Colour.

7 Clean up with water between coats (Spatula).

Note: Filling a deeper scratch completely with flexible leather filler all at once will just take the repair longer to dry before sanding can occur Sometimes days!

For Cuts or Minor Holes

1 Place a drop sheet or old towel around the couch to be repaired to protect floor coverings. (not supplied in the 50, 125 or 500ml kits)

2 Make sure leather is free from contaminants like body oils etc by using our Deep Leather Cleaner. (Sold Separately)

3 Spray the CouchGuard® Leather Prep onto the leather to be repaired and wipe dry. The leather prep is not a leather cleaner and the leather must be recoloured after using.

4 Lightly sand the repair area with 400 grit sand paper and 600g on the leather around around the repair.

5 Wipe away loose particals thoroughly.

6 Cut the backing fabric larger then the cut or hole and place (glue side up) on the underside of the leather using the tweezers. Once in position, apply small beed of CouchGuard® Leather Glue to one side of the cut and press down firmly. Now repeat on the other side. You can use a hairdryer to heat the area, activating the glue and press down firmly. Clean ups any excess glue with water.

7 Using the spatula provided, slowly build the flexible leather filler over the cut or hole in layers. Allow to air dry. You may also cut a small leather patch from the swatch in the Complete Leather Repair Kit and glue this to the backing fabric in the hole to use less filler and make for a quicker and better looking repair.

8 If required, lightly sand with 600 grit sand paper followed by 800 grit sand paper.

9 Wipe area over with the damp biodegradable towel before appling CouchGuard Leather Colour.

10 Clean up with water (Spatula).

For Recolouring Leather

1 Place a drop sheet or old towel around the couch to be repaired to protect floor coverings. (supplied in the 1, 2 and 3lt kits)

2 Make sure leather is free from contaminants like body oils etc by using our Deep Leather Cleaner. (Sold Separately)

3 Lightly sand the leather all over with 600g sand paper to etch the surface.

4 Spray the CouchGuard® Leather Prep onto the leather to be recoloured and wipe dry. The leather prep is not a leather cleaner and the leather must be recoloured after using.

5 Shake the CouchGuard® Leather Colour well and poor an amount into the roller tray. Cover the foam roller with the leather colour, rolling out and excess colour and start to apply it to the leather surface.

6 Apply the colour in layers and don't apply too much at once. Work your way around the leather covering all the large areas 1st.

7 Once the main large areas are recoloured, generally 4-5 coats you then need to start on the fiddly hidden bits. This is best done the next day using the foam sponge and or foam brush supplied.

8 Hold the leather up and apply one coat of colour. Dry using a hairdryer and repeat until covered. Once dried with the hairdryer, place a piece of white cotton cloth between the 2 surfaces for a good 24 hours. This will stop the surface sticking together.

9 Sometimes you may find small amounts of dust or specs of dirt in the finish. Simply lightly sand the surface with 800g sand paper, reduce the leather colour with CouchGuard® Leather Reducer (10%) and apply 2 more coats. You are now done!

10 Clean up with water.

You may also spray our leather colour on too if you have a compressor and spray gun. The colour will need to be reduced with CouchGuard® Leather Colour Reducer by no more then 10%.

There are some live steams from the Brisbane Home Show on our Facebook Page showing you just how easy this transformation is. https://www.facebook.com/CouchGuard/

Tips:

1. Rinse the sponge well in under running water and ring out the excess water before using.

2. After 4 coats of colour, let completely dry the lightly sand with 800g sandpaper. This will remove and debris. Reduce the colour down a little then apply two more coats.

3. Use the plastic dowel plugs to hold the leather apart while colouring. i.e: between seating cushions, between the seat cushion and the arm cushion etc. Once the leather is coloured and dry, move the dowel along and touch up the area.

4. Place a piece of cotton sheet between the cushions for 24 -36 hours once coloured and dry to stop the two sections sticking together then apply Conditioning Cream.

Warning: Always test on a small hidden area before use

FAQ's

Q. I’ve heard that once leather is dyed, it can feel harder?

A. Only if the leather is hard to start with. Our Leather Colour doesn't change the look, feel or smell of the leather. You should apply our Leather Conditioner after the recolouring process is done and completely dry - approximately 24-48hrs depending on the climate.

Q. Can I use Acetone to clean the leather?

A. No. Acetone will will damage the components used during the tanning process and the fibre structor of the leather.

Q. What does the LB and PL stand for?

A. LB is short for Lazy Boy and PL is short for Plush.

Q. I have your samples and one colour is the same but called something different. Can I still use your colour?

A. Certainly. It makes no difference what the colour is called, as long as it looks the same.

Q. Can I use this product on vinyl?

A. Yes you can use this on vinyl / bonded leather. Some, not all vinyls may need the Leather Sealer applied after if it feels tacky when dry.

Q. What does the leather paint end up feeling like after application?

A. The product is specifically for leather. After its applied, your couch will still look, feel and smell like leather.

Q. What are the Leather Colour Changers and how do I choose the colours from the drop down menu?

A. The Leather Colour Changers are the pigments that make up the actual colour. For example, Beige is made from Ochre, Black and White pigment so you would receive them in the kit. White on the other hand is made from just White Pigment but you would receive Ochre, Black and Brown pigments. You can't choose the actual colours. We provide the Colour Changers depending on what colour repair kit you order.

Q. I want to recolour my 5 seater modular. Would 500ml leather colour be enough?

A. No. You would need 3 litres or the 3lt kit for a 5 seater modular, no chaise. You'll also find an "Ideal For..." under each kit listed in the "In The Box" tab. If you are ordering a 3lt kit and your modular has a chaise or is extra large you will need to purchase the additional 1lt Leather Colour

Q. I have badly worn / cracked seating cushion. Can I use your products to repair and recolour this damage?

A. Yes and No. Not all leather is repairable as such. Generally the seating areas along with the arm and headrest areas are damaged from body oils, perspiration etc. The leather has absorbed these contaminates over the years so getting a permeant repair is near impossible. Adhesion may / will be an issue or those areas will crack again with little use.

If you do go ahead and repair badly damaged areas and the repairs fail, please don't blame our products when this happens.

Q. How much does 50ml leather colour cover?

A. It would cover the top of an arm on a couch. A 125ml will cover a complete bar stool or seating cushion. You'll also find an "Ideal For..." under each kit listed in the "In The Box" tab.

Q. Can I have a colour made up?

A. Yes you can. We would need a sample piece of leather no smaller then 100mm x 100mm, 1 liter quantites only plus a $50 mix and matching fee applies to all colour matching.

Q. The 12 gram leather filler doesn't sound like much?

A. No it doesn't but its light weight and goes a very long way. You only need little amount to fill a scratch or scuff.

Q. If I use a coloured filler, do I still need to cover the repair with leather colour?

A. Yes you sure do. The coloured flexible filler makes the leather colouring proccess quicker.

Q. Can this filler and leather colour be used on car seats?

A. Yes in can be used on car seats but we do list automotive leather colours on the CleanGarage.com.au website.

Q. Can I the leather colour and filler be used on all leather types such as Aniline?

A. Yes in can be BUT if you use it on Aniline Leather you then turn it into a Pigmented or Finished leather. You'd probably want to keep it to very minor scuffs or nicks.
