Hello!
I've recently recolored one of my old, but loved leather shoes. I've used acetone+alcohol+distilled water (70-20-10 mixture) and some leather shampoo to strip the old finish. Then used fiebing's pro dye. The recoloring turned out to be not that bad for a first try, although the leather lost its old shiny smooth like surface and I might have outdid the stripping a bit because it became a bit rough on the surface. I'm a bit stuck how to recreate the old look. When I tried to apply resolene it horribly darkened the back/heel part of the shoe, as visible on the pictures.
Any ideas how to smoothen back the leather to its former glory? Thanks.
