If the paint gets over the metal logo is it easy to remove? I'm contemplating to dye a pair of Prada patent leather flats that has the "Prada" logo gold metal on it. Thanks!
If it’s just metal you should be able to wipe off using a baby wipe. You can also use a painters tape to cover that area. If it’s a logo with color on it. I recommend watching my Prada dye video because it did dye the logo.
Yes, when a bag has been altered in any way by someone other than the company, it would be deemed not authentic. However, a bag like this was already stained and had very little value. By dying it, it makes it wearable again
Hi! If there are markings on it that are dark, you will not be able to cover them with a light color dye. If you are just looking to brighten up the color, I would suggest mixing a yellow with a tiny bit of red, until you get this dark amber color
@@preluxehi what about silver? Do you think it would show up or should I do a darker colour? And if I buy a stained bag, do you think all the stains would be covered?
To dye the zipper you can use angelus paint + angelus soft and that does not bleed.
Thank you for the tip! I’ll have to try that next time!
Have you had to do touch ups or dye the bag again? Just curious how long the color can last since this video was done in 2022. Thank you 😊
No I have not. The dye is permanent, so you should not have to do touch ups ever.

Does painting a different color ruin the value if at some point you wanted to sell?

I want to restore its original color. What would you suggest color dye to use?My bag is like what you have.

I really want to do this to mine....I have a yellow alma that I want to make bubble gum pink...does the bag look really shiny after?
Yes! Finishing it with the acrylic gloss really helps! Just be careful with pink, it could turn out a bit orangey

Hi, what is the exact name of the dye used?

all of the products that I used are tagged in my handbag care list on amazon. I posted the link. This is the Angelus leather dye
Do I have to use acetone?
Yes, acetone helps deglaze the vernis so that the new dye will be absorbed
How many coats of acetone is needed? :)
Just one
Why didn’t you use gloves?
I personally think that gloves are big on me and just get in my way.
