i haven't tried it on synthetic leather so I honestly could not advise sorry- it may take better to synthetic I imagine. its the creases that get affected the most and they move and bend more
UPDATE***** unfortunately- this method does not work well enough. After a week the paint at the creases came away leaving crease lines of the original leather shade. I'm not sure if this is as a result of not adequately removing the glaze layer prior to paint application or if it just simply doesn't absorb for high crease/movement areas as the rest stayed on very well. I do the experiments so you don't have to! :)
Use quality acrylics. Then use a good sealant after your paint has dried. Acrylic paint is basically the same as leather paint. It's really about preparing the leather first.
I can see this probably rings true, as some areas took the paint perfectly, and other areas (probably less well prepped) did not. I also didn't seal it. Thanks for this info @bagobeans and thanks for watching :)
You need the proprietary purpose made dye/paint, just be sure to thoroughly deglaze 1st . I ended up buying Angelus paint which worked well although I still get some rubbing off but I imagine this is because I needed to remove more of the glaze. Hope this helps Brad :)
Thank you for sharing this process which will save many of us money 🎉 and thanks for including the errors and tips. 💐💐💐
Glad it was helpful!
Undiluted acrylic paint is not water based.It's synthetic resin based paint.
Really nice music in this video
Bro what do you think,how long would it last if i prepare it only with acetone,apply acrylic paint and not apply finisher? (For synthetic leather)

Why use coconut oil?
i guess it is said to be good for the skin.........
How long this paint will last in daily use & OIL, DIRT, TEMPERATURE will they affect it ?
if you do a most excellent prep and seal it after, i imagine it should last as well as the original colour/paint would do. Thanks for watching :)
@@zippipops7651 thanks for reply
😘😘😘😘😘
Did it fade out with wather?
it didn't fade , it just didn't 'take' very well to parts of the leather
Update pls
