It's been 5 years since you made this video. If you still have the couch, fail or not, a follow up video sounds like a good idea. Either way, you could celebrate how well it held up or share a "this is what I learned" experience.

You matched that color so well! I have two (free) faux leather couches and I did this very same thing however, I added fabric softener to the paint to make it stretchy. After 3 years, one couch held up great and the other...well, not so much. I'm going to order the acrylic this time and see if this does the trick! Thanks for the tip! Also! If anyone is taking off a significant amount of the peeling, a hair dryer and a table knife makes it come off like butter! Heat up that vinyl and it nearly slides off with the knife!

I’m thoroughly impressed. I’m glad you came up in my google search results and will definitely be trying this here in the next couple of days

Looks amazing!!! , so tired of vacuuming up peeled leather bits or covering it with blanket throws - thanks heaps for great tips n help

I'm gonna try this with my couch. It was given to me like yours. Your couch looks great!! Thanks for the video

What happened? Did yours turn out as good as the video?

I used this method. Went to local Lowe's. Spend $20 total. It came out decent. I will buy a protector. I had insurance, so Living spaces refunded my money, and they said keep the couch! Thanks

You know what?! You did a pretty darn good job! I honestly would have never even thought of this as an option, so thank you very much. I think it turned out great! 😉

Thank you - your video saved me bothering to waste any money on similar products, and to just concede it's new couch time :)

I am going to be trying this. I looked at all the patches but my peeling couch is too big for them. So I did a google search and here you are. Very helpful!

This is amazing I'm so glad I found your video, just purchased a sectional from the thrift store

I’m so glad I found this video. My sectional couch looks just like this and I’m going to try using this paint. Thank you!

Great video. A few points tho. Don’t use leather wipes to clean. They have moisturizer In them to hydrate leather and those same things will stop the glue or dye or finisher from properly bonding. Wash that area with acetone. The bond should last years.

adding more points, a bit of light sanding might help too.

PRO TIP: peel, sand with fine grit, spray with artist matt clear, spray paint (not brush) to exact color, spray over with gloss leather polish for shoes. It will last much longer and will not crack. Painting may look good but another six months of body heat, shifting while sitting, etc and you have the same problem but now it's cracking under the varnish you painted on. Spraying with leather coat will keep the spray color perfect for a long time and the underspray will stop the continued peeling.

Thank you for this. I have a huge headboard that was cracking and peeling. This saved me alot. It doesn't look perfect but it beats having it reupolstered.

Looks great. I have the same couch and was searching for a repair option. Yours was the first video I found.

wow; that came out better than i thought when i first began watching. I am very impressed.

Thank you for this great idea! Especially when times are hard right now to purchase a new sectional!😃

Thank you so so much. I was about to buy new couches. My real leather couch is back like crazy new looking. God Bless you... I saved a lot right now.

Great it looks so beautiful it looks like real me and my son are definitely going to do this for our leather chair that has started peeling

Very creative! Great job! Was checking to see if I can repair my bedframe. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the first video I've watched. I am now satisfied to start my diy. Awesome 👌!! I wanted to throw my couch and love seat away. You changed my mind.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I'm needing to do. I just brought a leather recliner sofa for $20 AUD with the same pilling issue but on the top back of the head rest cushion. I was sure I could fix it, if not 20 bucks was pretty good, but now I know I can :-)

Thank you for your video. The painting technique makes the most sense to repair vinyl.

Thank you for sharing this! My great grandson was picking at the arm of our couch and it looks terrible. Definitely going to try this!!!

You did a GREAT job in your video. I actually just came back home from buying me a used faux leather recliner for only $75. The leather is doing the same as your video shows so I'm going to do just what you did. This recliner doesn't have as much damage as the one you repaired but still can use some repairing. Thanks for providing the video.

I was honestly just considering buying a new couch cushion (that’s the only part that’s peeling bad) but this is sooo much cheaper. I’m definitely gonna have to try this. I’m tired of having leather pieces follow me wherever I go!

I can’t wait to try this on my peeling recliners this weekend!!!

Great video, very informative. I have a 4 yr sofa and love seat that's in good condition still, but the damn faux leather is peeling horribly! Will definitely try the products/tips to repair them. Thanks for posting this!

Wow you did an amazing job 👍I have a small peel my couch is dark black so it's hard for someone to notice it but I do so I'm going to get right on this. Thank you so much I feel a lot better since watching your video your the best

Thank you so very much. I took your advice and peeled away all of the material first. Must admit, I'm totally surprised. I wish I knew how to upload pics. I am shooketh. LOL

I used the dull corner of a 5 in 1 tool and the peeling came off pretty quick and instead of a brush I used a sponge. Nice work!! Thanks for the video and idea!!

Hi! So I am doing this patch right now and I have some notes! The paint you found works great but I could only find it in small bottles so I had to figure out how to make it last. Mix the right color, add a layer or two, then do the top coat (I found a satin varnish that is pretty spot on for matching a leather sheen) then keep painting to build it up! I found that the fabric absorbs the paint a lot and makes it hard to build up an even surface. My couch is looking so much better now though!

@dorothydanridge

I have that same question. How much paint did you finally buy? I want to redo a handbag in bronze but I only saw the bottles in one ounce sizes and I have no idea if that will be enough for a handbag . I guess I'll buy 2 bottles and if there's any left over I'll use it on shoes or something.

Thank you! I just purchased everything on your list from amazon!

Great work. I am impressed with your intelligence.

I'm impressed with you. I admire people that can do things themselves. I'm 81 and I'm amazed at how helpless so many young people are now. OK, now my ideas to help this go easier and faster. Use a 2-3 inch brush when covering a large area like you had to do. Also on this job if you'd laid the couch down on its back the paint wouldn't have run down toward the seat nearly as much. You did a great job but you spent way more time on it than was necessary. The couch looks great and my computer chair is jealous so I'll be doing it. Cheers, Neill

Thank you, my sofa is the same exact color. This video is Truly helpful

Excellent job we were thinking about buying a new couch and loveseat but now I’m gonna do what you did. Thank you so so much for saving us some money ours is peeling just like yours was ours is black and it’s Matt so I’m going to try to do exactly what you did. Thank you so so much. Again🙏🏽❤️🥰

Wish I could show you the outcome of my couch but much like yours. I’m so happy!
