Happy with results

I purchased two Flex-Steel leather couches,(made in China) about 4 years ago. After first year, the color, (dark brown) started fading at pressure points. This is usually a problem after many years of use. The retailer hired a specialist to re-color the affected areas in my home. However a year later, additional fading showed up on both couches and I could not afford the specialist due to high costs. I purchased a repair kit from Leather Magic. I asked questions before starting and my only real issue was the spray method. I used an Airbrush instead of the canned air that they recommend. It was about $20 at Harbor Freight Tools as I have my own compressor. This made all the difference in applying the new colorant. Leather Magic was very good about giving technical support and their instructions about prep were effective. I followed their instructions exactly and I got excellent results. The color match was like a factory finish. I have repeated the process on the same furniture two years later with similar results. Like many things, it takes patience and some skill but it is worth the effort.
