Thanks for the replies. I will experiment to get the best combination for what I'm looking for. texback, thanks for differentiating the cova color acrylic paint vs a leather dye. I'll see what Tandy has to offer in terms of an orange dye and go from there. I've done some more research on the Cova Colors and they seem to be a good option if carefully applied. Though many people on this forum suggest just using any craft acrylic paint thinned out to get the same results.

I just joined this group and have been endlessly reading all the amazing threads I can! I am putting together 2 wallet kits from Tandy and possibly 2 belts. I want one of each to be left natural and the other to be dyed a nice tasteful orange. I have attached a picture of a wallet that is the 'shade' of orange I am looking for. So my questions are, is the Eco-flo orange dye, available at Tandy, going to produce the even colored finish I am looking for? https://www.tandyleather.ca/en-cad/home/department/leather-dye/eco-flo-dyes/2602-09.aspx and Is the Acrylic Resolene from Fiebling's (also from Tandy) something I would put on top of the dyed leather AND the raw leather to protect and finish it? https://www.tandyleather.ca/en-cad/home/department/leather-dye/leather-finish/2270-127.aspx Any other tips or steps I am missing would be greatly appreciated I am located in Canada, so any product from amazon.com probably can't be shipped here, and amazon.ca has limited selection. There is a Tandy store close, so I will most likely get everything there. thanks
