Can I use dye on patent (plastic) leather?Updated 2 months ago

Yes, you can use dye on patent (plastic) leather, but there are a few important things to keep in mind:

✔ Dye will significantly darken patent leather (patent leather is a clear plastic film) so expect a deeper shade than the original color.
✔ The dye will mix with the existing color of the patent leather, which can affect the final result. For example, applying red dye over white patent leather may create a pinkish tone rather than a true red.

Because of this blending effect, we recommend carefully selecting your dye color and testing on a small, hidden area first to ensure you achieve the desired outcome.
