Cyclist2 Report post Posted March 25, 2017 I see Tandy has Eco-Flo dyes and waterstains. What is the difference? They are both water based. I also use acrylic paint that my wife had around, seems to work OK. Is the Eco-Flo cova color any different? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paints sit on top of the surface of the leather. They apply have different consistencies and you will apply them differently. The Eco-Flo cova color is essentially an acrylic paint, although I think there are some other organic compounds thrown in because it will grow mold if stored/sealed improperly. High quality acrylic paints will work as well, although I believe the leather-specific paints are made to be a bit more flexible.
