How do I paint a leather couch, chair, or car seats?Updated 5 hours ago

Clean it, deglaze it, and build the color in thin coats with a brush, sponge pad, or airbrush, then seal with 4-Coat. Plan on a pint to a quart of paint for a leather chair and a quart or two for a full couch.

  1. Clean the leather with Easy Cleaner and let it dry.
  2. Wipe it with Leather Preparer & Deglazer until the shine is gone.
  3. Apply thin, even coats with a brush, applicator pad, or airbrush, letting each one dry.
  4. Let it dry at least 24 hours.
  5. Seal with 4-Coat to protect against everyday wear.

Bigger jobs:

  • A quart covers about a medium 3-seat couch or a full car interior of 4 to 5 seats.
  • Fill cracks and holes first with Paintable Repair Filler, then paint over it.
