Littlef Report post Posted May 2 paint and dye won't mix. Oxblood makes a very dark - very pretty red at full strength. I used the search parameters on this forum, and found a prior thread: it said, "You can also make pink by diluting red about 10:1 with denatured alcohol. 90% Isopropyl will work just as well." I'm sure It'll take a bit of experimentation to get the shade you are looking for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted May 2 (edited) On veg tan leather, Fiebings Oxblood becomes a bilious pink. I tried a very diluted form - still a bilious pink. No idea why it's called Oxblood. I gave up trying to get a pink. Will watch here, I hope someone knows how to get a good pink on veg tan. @Littlef I did not get a red, I got a pink - a deep pink or a light pink. Maybe it was the leather. Beg tanned leather has various shades. Edited May 2 by SUP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beg tanned leather has various shades. I got nothing. That'd odd. I have a holster that I made with a usmc black exterior with an oxblood liner. Its vivid deep red. Normally I just use oxblood to mix with browns to bring out a reddish hue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieselTech Report post Posted May 3 I think you got to mix some sort of light gray dye with a red dye to get a pink dye I believe. Can't remember where I saw this at, but I think it can be done. It might be mahogany & white dye mixed together to get pink. If not you could buy a panel of pink veg-tan leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieselTech Report post Posted May 3 I think it was on a Leather Element with Chuck Dorsett & I think it's oil dyes needed to make a pink dye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
