I have a sample that I can send you of the color of this sectional.

The client has a small dog that jumps on and off of the sofa, which leaves behind scratches, but more importantly the micropigment is wearing off.

Would like some suggestions on procedures to restore this piece.

To determine whether it’s semi-aniline or pigmented, inspect the reverse and the edge.

If it’s transparent aniline dyed than its semi-aniline leather.

However, this is certainly an effect semi-aniline.

We could tell, if the picture resolution is better.

So for leather identification, post good high resolution pictures.

This looks like a two-tone metallic effect, but until I received the actual sample for sure.

You had to be an artist to achieve this original design.


Note:

Semi-Aniline Color Effect can be achieved by adding a secondary color namely with:

chameColor95™

metalColor98™

pearColor97™

fluoresColor96™
