trimacar Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 A few years ago I had contact information for a company in Pennsylvania (believe owned/run by a woman) which sold leather restoration products....anyone have that info? Alternate, what system have you used and recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Other than Colorplus system which is available from Restoration Supply, I don't know. They are in Milford PA and tel. 570-686-3158. Actually it was a question I was thinking of addressing to you one of these days.

trimacar Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've always worked with new leather, never restored same, thus my lack of knowledge on the subject. The company/woman I'm looking for did a demonstration at the AACA museum a couple of years ago, and everyone who saw the results was impressed. Of course, I carefully filed away her contact information in the "Can'tfindit" file...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 We have done leather "dyeing" on several occasions (it's actually not a dye but a thin paint product with added flex agents) and buy the necessary products thru the same PPG supplier who provides us with our automotive paints. Results have been good the very few time we have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimstulga Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Go to google and enter "Mohawk leather restoration". Scroll down a bit and you will see a 3 or 4 minute instructional movie. Hope this helps. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPC • Restoration Specialists • Leatherique - leather care, leather renovation - Rejuvenator Oil, Prestine Clean, Crack Filler, Custom Colour Dye There are a few distributors in Canada, I don't know if there are any in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 MikeWW, leather prices are all over the board, depending on quality, thickness (weight), type of finish......you can buy cheap ( quality wise) hides on Ebay for $2 square foot, nice hides from Mel at $3-4 sf, or excellent leather at $7-10 sf.MikeB, that's interesting but not the company I was originally looking for.Wonder if anyone (like Skinned Knuckles magazine) has ever done a test side by side of the major leather restoration products.....
