dying synthetic leather and suede with acrylic paint

- A tutorial on how to dye shoes, boots and any synthetic leather or suede material using acrylic paint. I can not stress enough that you are staining not painting the material, so make sure your paint is watered down and DO NOT use a paint brush to apply to leather as it will leave brush strokes. It will take a few coats to get proper color saturation so just be patient with it and let every coat dry fully before applying the next about 24 hours. and again do not use this method on real leather or suede as it will ruin it. Any questions please feel free to ask :)

I did this to my suede stilettos, they looked a little weird at first but I used fine sandpaper to rub it back to smooth and they look awesome now!
How did the painted boots last over time? Did it run when wet! wear off? Chip? Thanks!
The suede looks matted and shiny in the video. Great idea using sandpaper to fluff the material.
This worked great.
I had white children's dress shoes that needed to be cream. I used two coats of cream then added a coat of steeped tea for the right color and that worked over the acrylic paint great too.
Thanks!
thank you so much for this ! watched many videos and this is the only one which actually gave me a solution ! so good to be able to do it without having to spend crazy money on dye and stuff !
I bought some sandals at Payless no less! apx. 3 yrs. ago - really unique so bought beige and grey. Wore them so much the beige ones were looking really awful. I have a bunch of these acrylic paints, some matte, satin & gloss from Michael's for different projects.. I'm so impatient I just grabbed the bronze colour and (no water) just used a brush to paint them.. Perfection!
Zoe How did the painted boots last over time? Did it run when wet! wear off? Chip? Thanks!
I dyed a real leather jacket years ago with watered down paint and it turned out beautiful
regular acrylic paint isn't water-based, so even though it was thinned with some water to apply it to the boots, she might have actually made the shoes a little water resistant now.
This was very helpful and the best I've seen! Thank you
Thanx! I just bought some white faux leather Lugz because they didn't have black ones in my size. I already have acrylic paint. I'm definitely going to use this technique.
thank you so much. I am an aspiring designer and I really needed to learn how to die synthetic leather because I am Vegan and I would like to design clothes and I finally learned thanks to you. :)
This worked perfectly and I didn't have to spend any money as I already had acrylic paint in the house
This worked like a charm, but I had to do about 5 coats to get it dark enough to pass as black leathet. Thanks for this video
Did it stay after the time?
would love an update if the paint is still going strong after all this time
Kiralee would be good enough for a costume as she said. But for sure would not hold up for every day use. This isn't actually dying it is painting, and paint is only a top coat. Depending on the material of the faux leather, there are dyes that may absorb into the material and make it permanent
@@aaronsecosystems7941 how to make it permanent? What kind of dye?
@@ediblelipstick109 use a water resistant sealer
joy luist use angelus
joy luist Angelus leather paint and finisher, or Angelus Suède dye and finisher.When using on canvas or fabric add Angelus 2-Soft or Gac-900 these work also when painting on denim,cotton and other textiles when mixed with your acrylic paint.
Great tutorial! I'm going to try my purse straps. I want to darken them. Thanks💞
I'm definitely going to try this out! I have a pleather jacket that I tried to just paint straight on top of and the paint is chipping off, so hopefully this will work.
Hi...did you try this? it worked? I have a faux black leather jacket with some spots chippin off too
Great video I read the same thing about synthetics and I panicked, so will definitely be trying this!
Exactly what I needed! (Except from mine is black to cream) thanks!!!!
Thanks! This helped a lot, now I can finish my costume :)
This is a great video! Cant wait to try this!
I'm planning to cosplay as Emma Swan from Once Upon a Time but the boots I ordered aren't the same color that Jennifer Morrison wears on the show.
Great video! I also found shoes for my costume but they arent the right color. This is super helpful :D
I havnt had any problem with the boots in rain or anything it should be fine the leather has no issues at all but you could seal it if you wanted to i guess with shoue polish or something like that,
once everythings dry. if you scratch with your finger nail into the surface, does the paint scrape or chip/peel off easily?
dreampopmusic She says in the video that it won't chip off. Lol. "It seeps in into the synthetic leather, and dyes it." It doesn't "sit" on top. ^^
Hey how did u dry the paint?? By blow drying it or by the sun's heat??
Kelsey Molon how 2 babe?
@@kelseymolon .....I'm pretty sure that the OP says somewhere--if not in the video, then in a comment--that she let the boots dry overnight in between coats of paint. So, no sun or added heat, just let it sit in the house, in the open air, on a table, shelf, floor, or wherever, for 8 to 24 hours, until it feels quite dry, I guess. ////Bunny kisses for all!
I have used vinegaroon on reall leather with amazing results. However, I have some synthetic leather that I will try this technique on. Thanks!
Do you have to re-apply after rain? Anyone know if you need to seal them then?
Great video! :) Does anyone know what will happen to these shoes in rain??
Thank-you can't wait to try this with pink
In your opinion, would this work for PU fake leather pants? Thank you so much for making this tutorial, it's going to help me update soo much of my closet
Chocolatetresses dyed a pu jacket with a Fit the kit and it worked
@@andreat.8078 Could you link what you used to dye it? And how did it turn out??
oh my you just saved me a ton of money. I really dislike discolored shoes they look so shabby. Thanks
Just thinking.........I wonder what you'd use to paint wedge sandals that are made of a canvas type material - can't see any videos on this. Any suggestions?? Like I said I get impatient and decide to do things sometimes at 3 a.m.! I like the shoes, but am not "in love" with them so maybe I should paint them tonight?? lol.
Did U ever do it?
Hi, was wondering how the paint lasts over time? Does any of the original brown show through in the creases or peel off after a few wearings?
trulymadly The brand of craft paint shown (or Americana multi surface as a secondary option to the Plaid brand used here) has never chipped on me and so far one of my pleather jackets has held the paint for about four years now with no cracks. It was non diluted when I used it, simply because I was using a block print and not painting the whole thing. Regardless, you should be absolutely fine!
You call that a good blob of water? where are your blob measurers?
quick question, what if u get caught in the rain?
Acrylic pain becomes resistant when dried, so your the color wouldn't run if you got them wet.
Can you do this to a jacket with the same material?
Of course I'm about to
How did the painted boots last over time? Did it run when wet or not? wear off? Chip? Thanks!
Thank you so much for doing this! It was really helpful
This was so helpful, thanks!! I will be dying a pair of sandals for a costume. Just a question - I need to get a somewhat dark burgundy color for mine. Would it be better to start out with a neutral tan color or black? Those are the only options for the shoes I think would work best, but it seems like trying to dye black shoes a redish color wouldn't work. What would your suggestion be? Thanks so much!
This is fantastic! I'm thinking about doing this for a synthetic leather bomber jacket. Not sure if it'll work the same, but I guess I'll find out! Is this waterproof, or does it run when it gets wet?
Hi, did you try it with the jacket? it worked?? I have one that is chipped in some parts and I'm wondering if this method will make look good again
This was extremely helpful thank you! :D
Hi! I’ve been looking around for a tutorial on how to dye faux suede for months. So happy to finally have found this! I’m going to dye a pair of thigh high boots. The material is quite thin, not thick like the boots in the video. What I’m scared of is for the acrylic paint to bleed through the fabric and onto my socks, etc. have you experienced this?
These boots are years old now and I didnt experience any bleeding through and once its dry it should be fine but I cannot guarantee it as mine were thick. If it were me I would try it then wear them for awhile to see you can always were thigh thighs under to protect your skin but I think it should be fin.
Try using scotchguard as a "sealer" if your fabric is compatible with doing such. If it's not, look into mod podge waterproof sealer or other fabric compatible sealers.
I know it's said in the vid I'm just looking for a quick answer what type of paint is being used here
Same here! All she said was "..cheap acrylic paint [she got her's for] 99 cents from Jo-Ann Fabric."
I'm headed to Jo-Ann's....
I have an old Coach tote that's patent leather and it looks horrible. Color transfer, worn off color and tons of black marks that look as though someone skidded across it with an 18 wheeler. My question, has anyone tried this technique on patent leather and what were the results? The tote is trash anyway so I'd love to experiment on it ;-)
Thanks!!
I have a thin suede material trench coat(Vanilla colour) I wanted to dye it to Midnight Blue.Does it work with Acrylics paint like U do?
What about boots that the fake leather is peeling,will it work?
Wendy Goodall same thing I want to know
Thanks for this. I need to touch up some faux leather dinning chairs and i have not been able to find anywhere where i can buy dye for this. I will try this when i have got some time to mix and match the colour i need x
hazel brown hey quick question, how did it work? i’m about to try this on dinning chairs as well and i’m curious
Wonder if I could do this for sailor senshi cosplays.
I'm trying this for alois boots XD
Welp! I am going to try this on a pair of knee highs I just got but I have a question;
The boots I got are flexible and bendy but feel like leather (they are fake) and are a little cracked/worn, I was wondering if this method would still work? Sorry to rush you but I need them black by three days so if you can reply that would be great!
Could be done with brighter colors
you are a genius! tank you so much!
Can you make them a lighter color this way? Like white?
Marina Doshkevich yes, you might need a couple coats to cover up a darker color though
you can only go darker, not lighter... I learned a hard lesson, believe me.
I will assume that you will seal the paint with a clear shoe polish on the synthetic leather??
I am going to do it on a thrift store flat wallet. I have sanded, painted and sprayed /paintbrush coated with polyurethane or wood varnish. I PREFER TO paint on the seal after of course from the beginning covering hinges and screws, fasteners with masking /paint tape.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Have you ever tried this method from black to a lighter color? I have black lace on gray boots and I need green for my costume. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
yes I'm getting medium brown ones, but I need them to be any ivory/tan color!!
I have never tried to go lighter it may work but may need more coats
Will this method work well for bendable garments such as a glove? I am attempting to make a replica of Michael Jackson's original glove which was made with a cream colored golf glove which is difficult to find so I figured I could dye a white glove.
I have a light pink faux leather skirt that the color got a little messed up on BC of a pair of jeans in the wash, would this work for it? it would it like crinkle and flake off? could I still wash it?
Love the Bob Ross fan brush
That is literally a Bob Ross paint brush
I've bought some black faux suede thigh high boots and was thinking of colouring them teal/turquoise as the character I'm cosplaying has teal/turquoise boots. Would spraying them or using the wet paint be a better soulution?
Hello my question is can I use my hobby spray painter and once the paint/dye is dry is it wise to use a sealer to protect the shoes
Jeff what kind of sealer?
Do you think you could dye white faux leather pink with this method? I'm trying to make a costume and I expected the sleeves of the jacket I bought to be a material I could easily dye but it turned out to be pleather and I'm just trying to work with what I have as I don't have much time or money.
Thank you so much for this!! U saved me and some shoes!!!! ;)
will it work on the heel if I wanted to cover that brown on my heels? My heels are the same material as yours. Thank you.
So I bought some cheap black fake leather pumps from a thrift store and for my costume I need them to be a dark blue. Will this method work and if not, what could I try?
if I want to draw a pattern on the leather, would it work? lets say I have a white leather and want to dye just a one color figure, red, on it, would it work by using duct tape to draw the area and applying the red paint?
wil ll this work on the edges of my couch.. its synthetic leather 🤔
so light brown to black would work awesome. :3
I'm thinking of doing this for some boots I wanna wear in a couple weeks! Being a water-based paint, will it seep off in the rain? Can you seal it with some kind of water repellent?
Hi thanks for this tutorial Will this work with a nude/blush suede heels to black and how many coats ?
I have some pu leather / suede planners but they're all darker colors and I want to make them lighter colors would I need to do a white wash first?
mY MOM SlAYYyYYYYy
Perfect, thank you! ❤
How long does it take to dry? Can you use a hair dryer to speed up the drying time? TIA!
Any advice about dying a black synthetic leather jacket to a dark red?
Thanks for the info! worked perfectly on my shoes!
The one that l use is wash off when water pour onto it what solution to it
So you’re saying it’s easier to go from a darker color to a lighter color?
i'm trying to make burgundy suede sneakers a shade darker... Would brown paint work?
Did this ruin the grain of the faux seude BTW?
Would using a painting sponge be an okay substitute for the washrag?
I don't think so. It's better to use a cloth or old rag.
Does the paint wear off the zipper at all once you start wearing them?
thank u sm my boyfriend just bought roller skates and they didn’t have the color he wanted.
Would it work from brown to gray? I want to dye my bomber jacket
i bought a mudd kenny tote from kohls (not that its that important just for reference) and its faux leather and i was wondering if this method would work and if someone could tell me if it did and what they sealed it with, because this is super helpful
brennabelkonen Americana Multi Surface paint, found right with the Plaid brand used in this video, is under $2 a bottle and includes a primer and sealer in the formula, so it will seal up for you on its own. Otherwise, I'd prob use polyurethane bc that's my jam.
does this method work on black boots that need to be lighter? I have black boots that need to be hot pink... I would think more layers would work but I wanna know if anyone tried yet
I’m trying to dye a faux leather basque would this work ?
Can this paint also work on fake "leather" jacket? I bought this jacket years ago & the fake leather is peeling off. How do I put it back or make it look like it did when first bought? Id never buy real leather because its worthless compared to the animals suffering. It is never worth the money no matter how much selfish impulses kick in. Also is there such thing as fake nubuck? If you dont know what it is plz look it up. I want this boots that say it contains fake nubuck but im hesitant because im a cruelty-free shopper.
Would black work on a bright orange bag please ?
Some companies make dye you can use on both real and fake leather
Hi!
I was wondering is this method changes the texture of the fabric at all
Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know. You've done the research for me. :)
sammeeee I just bought suede boots but in brown but I want black
Any ideas on how to turn royal blue into plum? 😅
What should I use to dye or paint timberland boots
hi what if i wanna dye a tan faux suede peep toe bootie white?
Why not use a cup?...
Because I didnt want to lol either way would have worked but I did what I did
will this work on black waterproof timberland boots
Hi I'm trying this on some pale pink faux sued boots making then a magenta colour. The paint is drying streaky, would just like some reassurance that it's going to be ok...
I think that in my opinion that a waterproof spray protector on the boots may be causing that. Its a theory, but I would sponge it on in a small circular pattern not across in vertical or horizontal directions. Let's see what the video poster says.
Hi hun, what paint would you recommend using on beige timberland boots if I wanted them all black?
Leather paint? Suede paint? Acrylic? Suede Dye? Not sure which one to use,,
Thanks! x
You should probably go with actual leather dye since they're probably real leather. I would think acrylic paint would be bad for them.
thank you! I ended up using black suede , turned out quite good!
Jes Edz where did you buy the suede from ?
Hi, I was wondering when pulling the zipper up/down did it make the paint chip off ?
No it didnt at all
my synthetic (handbag) is a very shiny synthetic do I need a primer first?
Primer will help a lot with getting a good solid base for the paint to hold on to. Acetone is a good cheap primer you can use. Rub that on your handbag until the surface changes from glossy to dull and wait 15 minutes for it to evaporate.
Did you end up doing the bag? How did it turn out?
Would it have the same affect if I use black ink instead of acrylic?
I think you could but dilute it with some water and test it on some white fabric or thick cotton material first. Stuff the inside of purse or shoe with paper or cloth to keep it from seeping through. Use painters tape/masking tape to cover what you don't want painted. Let's see what the poster or others suggest.
How long do you leave it on I'm wanting to do a belt
If you have to wash your boots will it come off?
Thank you
Does this work on Under Armour ClutchFit Drive?
Could I paint my nike sneakers with acrylic paint?
How long do you wait between coats of black paint?
