Sample of stripping off finishes to one of the diamond.

Like to proceed with the stripping?

Here is the result of stripping of the unwanted finishes . . . as compared to picture #1 of post #1
Minus the heavy load of finishes the leather is very soft to the touch almost "Nubuck".

What color would you call that?

>>> What color would you call that?

This is probably a mix of Yellow and Orange originally as the primary staining transparent color dyestuff like (Aniline-21). When you see post #11, there is a Tan secondary color probably translucent print like (2Tone-37).

Post #1 item details describe as “Coral Pink”, the existing refinishing matches the description, but I think the original does not when you see the original at Post #1, picture #8.

A new color if so desired is recommended to take on the darker secondary color, just to blend in and finish as “Nubuck”.

However, the color may take on a deeper intensity once it is leather rejuvenated for suppleness, more relax and plum, now it looks dry with uneven tension or light shrinkage. To finish to the desired Nubuck finish coloring, the next steps are:
1- Hydrating with Hydrator-3.3
2- Fatliquoring with Fatliquor-5.0
3- Cleaning up surface residue with Hydrator-3.3
4- Bonding repairs to the strap that separates with Bond-3D
5- Dry preparation by fine buffing
6- Matching Color
7- Color Application - plan-A with Nubuck-39 (opaque micro pigment)
8- Color fix with DyeFix-99

Note:
If there is no adhesion problem, Nubuck finishes will produce the finest finishing to the touch with a very fine nap with better aesthetic and value.
