I have a fairly new dark brown aniline leather sofa. It is still in very good condition. But we are interested in changing the color to grey.

Can this be done with a quality result?
Is it something that I can do myself?
I have no experience working with leather.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

>>> Can this be done with a quality result?

You will be converting ‘Aniline’ to ‘Micro-Pigmented’ Grey.
Grey is a mix of pigment white and black at an incremental 10% to achieve the desired shade.
It is also possible to worm up the grey with orange or ochre or any color to match your decor.
Or go to any paint shop (example, Home Depot) to get a color chip, we will match it accordingly.
Product system you will need is this Kit-Sa7.cl from this link (individual refills are available as well):

>>> Is it something that I can do myself?

The concept is same as painting, and with a little practice on hidden areas will get you the right feel.
