Instructions
LeTech Leather Colourant EXPERT LINE paints are professional-grade products. Working with them requires a specific application technique as well as an understanding of the product’s properties.
Our LeTech ACADEMY – LeCademy+ trains you in the correct use of our professional care and restoration products and supports you in your work.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The process of restoring and painting consists of several important steps that must be carefully followed in order to achieve a quality result.
The surface to be painted must be thoroughly cleaned of dust, dirt and foreign matter, using a professional Leather Ultimate Cleaner.
In the case of heavy soiling and grease stains in the leather, the dirt and grease must first be removed using Leather Degreaser.
After thorough cleaning and preparation, the leather should be degreased using Leather Alcohol Cleaner (link) or Leather Liquid Degreaser (link).
If the leather is damaged or the paint coating is damaged, the loose old paint coating must first be removed using Solvent Cleaner or Leather Prep, a leather paint remover.
After thorough cleaning and preparation of the leather for painting, apply LeTech Leather Primer adding Cross Linker X (link) 5-10% of the product.
PAINT APPLICATION
Shake Leather Colourant Leather Primer thoroughly before applying. In order to achieve the highest decorative properties the paint should be applied in thin and even coats by spraying with a blower or airbrush.
Pneumatic spraying by airbrush or airbrush gun. Can be diluted with distilled water. Nozzle diameter: 0.5 to 1.2 mm. Pressure: 1.1 – 8 bar (depending on airbrush or spray gun model). Compressed air must be free from water and oil. Paint must be thoroughly mixed and passed through a 190 micron filter before application.
Application with sponge, brush or roller: the optimum viscosity of the paint enables manual application, touch-up of minor, localized skin damage, foundation, for further treatment of the skin or colour recovery.
It is also an excellent colouring technique for painting on leather. For thicker colours, use our Thickening Agent
FINISHING
After colouring the leather, it is advisable to protect the surface with LeTech Leather Top Coat and 5-10% Cross Linker X polyurethane fixative.
LeTech Leather Top Coat enhances the abrasion and durability of the leather finish.
With the LeTech EXPERT LINE range of protective coatings, you can choose from a variety of matte or gloss finishes to give your leather the tactile properties you want from our range of unique Leather Protective Coat additives:
- tactile Leather Slip Additive
- the Leather Wax-Effect Additive for tactile modification
- Leather X-GUARD Leather X-GUARD Additive
- Leather Casein Additive
- Leather Thickening Agent
Leather topcoat is applied as a final step, after the leather has been repaired and coloured, to ensure a permanent hold. Leather Thickening Agent is ideally applied by spraying with an airbrush or airbrush gun. This allows you to get an even film and the necessary protective coating characteristics. Avoid applying too much varnish as too thick layers of barrier varnish can discolour the leather and make it harder to handle.
The drying time of Leather Top Coat depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment. Leather Top Coat can usually be used after 2-3 hours after restoration, but the complete curing and crystallisation process takes 8-12 hours.
It is not recommended to expose the leather to cleaning agents and application of various leather care products in the first week after restoration and application of Leather Top Coat. A week after restoration, the leather can be used without restrictions.
INSTRUMENT CLEANING
After all coatings have been applied, rinse the tools used thoroughly with water and, if necessary, use LeTech Leather Prep paint remover.
