The Issue:
Light-colored leather seats are very sensitive to color transfer, especially from berries and fruits.
In this case, grapes leaked from a box and stained the leather seat.
The pigment penetrated too deeply to be removed by cleaning alone, so we restored the surface using spray coloring and finished it with a protective top coat.
Not a big issue — but a big result.
In The Process
The first step is removing the top layer of the leather, which is the protective finish. This layer prevents proper paint adhesion, so it must be carefully removed using light sanding. Masking tape is applied to limit the sanding area and protect the surrounding surface.
Once the surface is properly prepared, the next step is painting.
Final Result:
To restore the original color, our specialist mixed a custom tint and reinforced it with a special cross-linker to make the coating resistant to solvents and other chemicals.
After the color was applied, the protective layer was restored by finishing the surface with a professional leather lacquer.
