User questions & answers

Question:	I have a light purple UGG boots and want to dye it black. Will this work? Will it come out dark black and will it turn the suede stiff? I tried to have it dyed w/ our local shoe repair man and he said UGG boots can be dyed but will not come out right. Thank you
Answer:	It will not turn your suede stiff. You might need 2 coats of the dye as it is not exactly pure jet black. It appears to be a combo of dyes that make it black. If you were dying a white item, maybe one coat, but since you are covering a color, expect 2 coats to get jet black.
Question:	can this be used on Nubuck
Answer:	Yes, This product is for suede or nubuck. Thanks.
Question:	Does this dye need to be sealed? Using black and don't want it to rub off onto anything
Answer:	No sealing, I dyed my shoes and it doesn't rub off .
Question:	can I use this item to dye a shearling coat (outside of it) from tan to black
Answer:	Few things to consider: If you don't know if the material is treated in any way (it might absorb in some places and not in others, or it might not absorb at all), I would suggest you try it in a small spot somewhere that's not obvious. Also, keep in mind that since it's a coat, I asume it doesn't have lining, the color might be absorbed on the other side too and when you wear it it might bleed on your clothes if the coat gets wet or you sweat. Also, depending on how big your coat is, you will need a lot of bottles for 1 coat, for more coats you will need even more. I would suggest you look into professionally dying this item.

User questions & answers

Question:	anyone have pics of finished products of evening blue and royal blue and nayvy blue
Answer:	The picture of cans of Evening Blue is on Amazon. I haven't seen the picture of Navy blue but let see if I can get that for you.
Question:	Wil this help me run for office
Answer:	Not if you apply RIT "Just For Men" to your sparsely coiffed scalp, right before standing under very hot lights and telling outrageous whoppers to the press. The heat of the kliegs combined with sweat and unusually blatant fibbing may result in continuous rivulets of dye running down your brow and cheeks, for as long as heat and the pressure of "just following orders" are applied.
Question:	How many yards of fabric can I dye with each bottle? I can't seem to find this information
Answer:	With the whole bottle 2-3 lbs. I use it for yarn
Question:	Can this work on glasses
Answer:	I think what you're asking is if this can fix dye to the plastic frames of glasses. Rit DyeMore is supposedly great for dying plastics. Below is a link with step-to-step instructions for dying Legos which should also work for plastic frames. Hope that helps!https://www.ritstudio.com/2015/04/09/how-to-dye-legos-with-new-rit-dye-more/Also, to the mean answers: stupid is as stupid does. This question was actually perfectly legit.

User questions & answers

Question:	I woukd like to dye a brand new pair of tan cowboy boots navy blue. Will this work
Answer:	Not recommended since the dye has absorbed into the leather. Even with deglazing the boot you are not starting with untanned/dyed leather. They won’t come out the color you want.
Question:	I heard you can restore bronze headstone yes or no
Answer:	With a lot of scrubing, sanding and polishing yes you can, but you run the risk of scratching it up.
Question:	I've used this before on a pair of leather boots, but will this work to dye Primeknit on an Adidas shoe
Answer:	No the ink will bleed on to your hands ..every time you put them on.
Question:	Can this be used on a pair of sneakers .... just to dye the top part where its pink
Answer:	I don't think I would. The dye will turn your foot the color of the dye and I don't think it is a "water" repelling type of dye. So if you get the shoe wet or sweaty it would run. Not the shoe, the dye.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used on satin shoes
Answer:	They make a dye for satin
Question:	How easy would it be to avoid dying the stitching when applying this product? I have red leather with black stitching
Answer:	The way to isolate parts you don't want to dye is using masking tape but, in this case, to avoid dying the stitching seems a very difficult, if not impossible, task. Sorry!
Question:	how much leather does one bottle cover? I have an 8x12 purse but just want to dye the inside flap and trim from gold to black
Answer:	I could say 2 pairs of shoes. Si that mean you can probably dye your purse with 1.5
Question:	Are the "golds" and "silver" metalic
Answer:	Yes, they are metal flake.

Answer:	Yeah it does come with a little small dapper work pretty good on my raging bull

Product description

A quality dye for natural and synthetic leather. Suitable for shoes, bags and textiles. Dyes on any color, even white on black. Color Dye has the ability to cover small leather defects resulting from abrasions and scratches on footwear and leather accessories. Dyes and restores the color permanently. Repels water. Does not crack or chip. Dyed leather is ready to use after 24 hours. Comes with Kaps Preparer, a primer to prepare leather for dyeing, a sponge, and a brush.



APPLICATION METHOD:



Stir the bottom of the bottle of dye with the paintbrush until getting a homogenous color. First apply paint with the brush on hard-to-access areas such as the joint between the sole and the leather, seams, and scratches. Next apply some dye on the sponge using brush. Rub gently sponge in a circular motion on the shoe surface to be dyed. Apply more dye on the sponge if necessary. Continue this process until the sponge will be almost dry. Once the first coat is dry apply a second coat by repeating the steps so that the color evens up. Apply a third coat, if necessary. Once finished, wash the sponge and the paintbrush with water. 25 ml - 0.85 fl. oz. is enough to cover 0.5m2 of surface with 2-3 layers. Does not work with nubuck and suede.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the color true to the sample color on the chart or to the picture shown in the bottle? They seem to differ, but maybe they darken as they dry
Answer:	Hi, it is as close to the sample as possible. We did our best when creating the sample chart but it also depends on the display screen, basically displaying true color on a screen is a challenge
Question:	Which is the darkest brown of the color choices
Answer:	Probably deep brown or dark brown. If you are trying to match something like a sofa or chair get several colors for best results. The colors vary quite a bit. Raisen looks almost purple, some a hint of yellow, or red. But when you dab it on they blend really well and end up rich with good depth. I got real nice results like this. If you are not matching anything then one color would do. Like a new project or a pair of shoes.
Question:	I would like to order black (like the bottle posted) but it's not one of the colors listed. How can I order black/czerny, please
Answer:	Dear Customer, it is out of stock currently. We have a delivery that isscheduled to arrive in 2 weeks. Would you mind checking then?
Question:	Will this dye stay (not fade, cracked or chipped) if I apply it in the inside of my shoes? Let’s say the heavy traffic area
Answer:	This product is not a penetrating dye. Behaves more like a paint. Probably not suited for surfaces which will come in contact with or be abraded by another surface or object
Question:	I have a pair of white leather tennis shoes. Will this work on them and will the color last
Answer:	Yes it will and you'll be amazed with the results
Question:	Might be stupid question but is it still flammable after it dries? i want to bring like back to my old welding leathers
Answer:	Doubt it but I would test that theory first
Question:	Can this be used on leather car seats
Answer:	I do not know. I used on shoes and was extremely pleased. I turned white leather shoes black.
Question:	Is the color water-fast? I want to use on a leather car seat. If rain water drips or splashes on it, will color run and come off on clothing
Answer:	Hi, I did not know so I rubbed a little wet towel on the boot and some color came out from the boot I dyed with this product. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will my shoes be crunchy when the paint dries
Answer:	No, it's shoe polish not paint.
Question:	Looking for a sneaker cleaner--not for the fabric but for the white rubber sidewall that runs around the shoe. bulit-in brush would be great
Answer:	So this can whiten the sole on the sneaker but will make a mess, plus it will wear off. What you need to get is “Angelus sole bright” made specially to whiten sneaker soles.
Question:	Does this clean or cover
Answer:	I believe this is a cover, not a cleaner.
Question:	I have a little black mark on my Nike shoes it's on the white checkmark will it cover it? It's a almost rubbery surface
Answer:	Kiwi has another product for scuffs. What I would try is first use 2 coats of the kiwi scuff. Let each coat dry completely and wipe shoes after each coat. Let completely dry overnight. Then repeat process with 2 coats of Kiwi Whitener. Kiwi sport shoe whitener is for cloth, not leather. Even after some of the original white came off my leather shoes, I used this process to cover it up and it worked. My shoes always look new and after wiping the shoes after each coat dries really shine nice. So you really need 2 Kiwi products. Good luck.

Product description

User questions & answers

Question:	I am looking for Kiwi's brown shoe dye but I keep finding it in black. Will the scuff cover work the same
Answer:	same to me, i can't find any brown dye from kiwi. did you try this one? did it rub?
Question:	can I use this product for fabric shoes? If the answer is no,can someone recommend which similar product is made for fabric shoes, to make them darker
Answer:	I have used acrylic paint in the little bottles from Michaels to permanently re-color fabric shoes. Buy the brown color you like. (maybe get a couple of colors you like to test on a piece of fabric) mix half and half with rubbing alcohol, blend well and carefully paint the color on the fabric. This also works on light-colored faux suede shoes.
Question:	Can you use this for leather bags? Does it rub off on clothes
Answer:	I used it on leather furniture to cover a bad scuff, but I would suspect you can use it on any darker-colored brown leather good. There is drying time involved and I had to apply, let dry, repeat a number of times to fully conceal my scuff. Once dried though, it seems pretty colorfast. Mine is in an area where I'm not constantly rubbing it, but when you run your hand over it, nothing comes off on your hand.
Question:	Can you use this item on suede
Answer:	No definitely not. It wouldn't spread at all

User questions & answers

Question:	If I put this on a purse with worn spidered areas with no color, should I get a color slightly lighter or darker since I can't match it exactly
Answer:	I think you would have to do the entire purse.
Question:	Can I use this on boots that were previously sprayed with waterproofing spray
Answer:	Before you apply the dye, you need to lightly sand the surface (included). I would think this would take care of the water proofing spray, but can't be positive.
Question:	If I put this on a purse with worn spidered areas with no color, should I get a color slightly lighter or darker since I can't match it exactly
Answer:	the area you apply the stain to should come out darker, logically.
Question:	can I use this for manmade shoes
Answer:	I just double checked the shoes that I dyed.....they are all man made materials! This product worked great. It took about 3 coats as it goes on kind of sheer but they cam out great. My coworkers can't believe that they are dyed. And I have worn them several times since dyeing and have had no flaking or peeling.
