[EN] Restoring faded black leather: colour and sheen | VILOU Guide

A pale worn spot may be missing its pigment layer rather than simply being dirty.

Practical steps

Check that the substrate is stable, prepare as instructed and build thin colour coats with a compatible protective finish. Compare original sheen.

Common mistakes and limitations

More paint cannot fix cracks, peeling substrates or open seams.
