I will give some input here, but no expert on eco-flo. As I have heard eco-flo is a water based product, which under the right conditions will sorta kinda work on veg tan. But not on crome. To test the theory take the crome tan and apply water. If it is true crome tan it will not readly soak up the water, it should just sit there. So it would be my guess that eco-flo will not work but I don't have any to try. I know the sprit or oil dye will work just fine on crome tan. Dye it all the time.

Randy I actually did a bit of research and shopping around last night and i think i found the color i need in the Angelus Brand of oil based dye so it SHOULD work as long as i can get the money =p lol seriously though thanks for the input i was thinking about the eco flo but the more i think of it the more the oil based dye is more logical to use and im 100 % certain its chrome tan i'll post pics when i get it done!
