Members killbillvol3 Posted January 31, 2017 Members Report Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, I bought some yellow biking leathers on ebay but unfortunately, I discovered that the colour comes off when it rains, I have no idea what to do. Is there anything I can buy to keep the colour "fixed" to the leathers? By the way, I've tried to wax them with a protective and waterproof wax, but that didn't help apparently. Thank you in advance for your help, Cheers ! Edited January 31, 2017 by killbillvol3 Quote
Members PonyEdwards Posted June 16, 2017 Members Report Posted June 16, 2017 Just a thought, but since the color is bleeding off in the rain, have you thought about just wetting them down and letting all the excess dye wash out, and then redying them? It sort of sounds like either they used the wrong dyeing process, or perhaps too much dye was used. Since they're biker leathers, I'm guessing they're made from a chrome leather, so the problem may have originated at the tannery. Quote
Members AZNightwolf Posted June 16, 2017 Members Report Posted June 16, 2017 I agree, sounds like they didn't do it right. The best option is to undo as much as you can (wet it down) and then apply the correct dye and sealant Quote
