How To Change The Color Of Patent Leather

I was the ONLY bidder interested in this beautiful Louis Vuitton wallet which retails for $800.00 and I took dwelling house for $25.00. I simply had to include the sale sail, because this is the stuff I live for...

1. Rub the patent leather with boom polish remover, all over the exterior. I chose acetone, since I know it's stronger than non acetone.

two. Cover the wallet in leather dye. I chose Angelus jet black leather dye, since it is the only dye my shoe repair guy carries. It cost $v.00.

3. Let it dry, then put on Another COAT.

four. My friendly shoe man told me to vitrify it with a soft cloth and mitt lotion. I only chose this balm considering it was in the bathroom.

5. While rubbing the lotion in, a lot of dye was coming off of the wallet and the color was not fifty-fifty.

6. I put some acetone nail smoothen remover mixed with water on a Mr. Clean magic eraser and rubbed all of polish off. Brand sure to use the magic eraser on the rivets to smoothen them up. I poured a lilliputian water on the wallet and scrubbed with a toothbrush to get the dye out of every indentation of the LV pattern.

vii. I am then happy with the color and the smooth! This went from being a stained, unsalvageable wallet to a custom color.

This was my first time dyeing patent leather. I'chiliad going to try this on my shoes next.... This projection toll me $5.00 for the shoe dye + $25.00 for the wallet. Plus a new manicure, yikes!
