Very carefully.

Do the usual prep - de-glaze , dye prep as required - I get both these from Fiebings . I then thin the white dye and spray it on - In my experiance it is better to apply a thin coat and let it dry then spray again and repeat until the required coverage is obtained . You may fine that the acrylic dye is better and easier to use , and that it gives a better finish - again I've got mine from Fiebings .

Good luck with this as I've found the white the worst colour to work with as is shows up every mark, smudge , stray fleck etc - also as it is either an acrylic or a suspension dye the leather doesn't absorb it so the surface you are applying it to needs to be extra carefully prepared .

Just my experiance is all - others may have had better results

For what little white leather I have done, . . . I just buy white leather.

Saves the mess and what little hair I still have.

May God bless,

Dwight
