    is there a color I have to use before trying to apply red to a white vintage Chanel handbag? first I will strip it, then do the steps of hydrator and fatliquor. Just wasnt sure if I do a color before the red to make it a nice bright red.
    thank you

    >>> Just wasn’t sure if I do a color before the red to make it a nice bright red.

    It depends on the coloring type you have in mind there is the Micro-54 system that produce an “opaque” finish, thus the base color will be block off. However, to have an even color consistency it is highly recommended that the based color should first be restored prior to your bright red color choice.

    To produce a beauty of depth and stimulated to a “transparent” finish a matching bright red Aniline-76 system is coat over the opaque Micro-54. Thus enhancing the value and beauty of the color restoration.

    A third choice is repair the white with Micro-54 to an even color consistency and then finish with Aniline-76.

    Tips:

    Prior to the hydrating process, I would used a pack of sand (sieve through to rid of powder) and inserted into the bag for more body impact during the hydrating process. I leave this bag of sieved sand after the fatliquoring process (this helps out to plumps up the diamond quilting) and sometimes throughout the refinishing process - let me know of your experience.

    Note:
    Soft lamb leather can be stretched up to 60% of its dimension with enough Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system.

    hi Roger
    just wanted to double check I read it right, so I put a coating of original color before applying the red dye?

    Permanently or can be wiped off and come back again?
