Painting a leather couch
I am a fan of giving things new life! I rescued this Natuzzi leather couch off the curb. It was full of dog hair and scratches. I cleaned and disinfected it then began researching the best way to refinish it. I found this amazing product called rub n restore. (Not sponsored)
I began working on painting it after giving it a quick wipe down with alcohol and now it looks so amazing! I highly recommend this paint.
My favorite brush ( I use it to paint EVERYTHING)

I love the kitty inspection crew.
Quite the difference! Nice to know you can update leather this way since the color trends change about every ten years or so.
Wow... I love the colour ,and it's made your room look bigger 😲 well done ,great job 👍
Good job. It really brightened up the room.
Looks absolutely beautiful!
WOW!! I got a kitten last April. I have two aqua blue vinyl club chairs that are very special to me. I cover them both with a quilt so my kitten wouldn’t claw them.......he crawled up under the quilts and scratched both of them on the front top, back top and arms. I wanted to paint them, but didn’t know what to use. OMGOODNESS! You’re sofa looks amazing! You did a fabulous job! I can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing your project!
Looks more vibrant than the old color. Great job 👍.
Gorgeous!!! Well done 👏 👌
That really brightened up the room!

Cat sooo cute busy little bady just trying to help mom. Couch looks great
I love this video,you,and your cats ...I have 9 cats and an old leather scratched couch ...I will try your method!!!
That is beautiful! I will definitely give your name when I purchase
Omg I love this video so much lol 😻! My cat scratched my faux leather headboard and footboard so horribly! I want to paint it. I have been scared she’ll jump on the painted parts, but I see yours did with no problem 😸. It looks AMAZING! Well done!

Hi Diana, fabulous job! Looks great. How many coating did you used and how much paint?? Also, do you feel any stickiness from the new paint? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
Bless your heart! You did all the research for me! I have an espresso leather ottoman that I love and I thought I could get a newer one in Camel color. Girl.......$1,500.00 for a cheap looking ottoman, smaller than mine, no way! My ottoman is 11 years old and it looks brand new. We use it to put up our feet while watching tv, it is so comfortable and I will never get a coffee table, that would be pretty but not functional. Now I will make it new again! Thank you dear sister, you made my COVID year a little brighter!

Looks great! That's the color I want to get to from dark brown. How is it holding up after a year? Is there any peeling or cracking?
Hi! I too have been looking at buying a new couch b/c I don’t care for my espresso colored sectional anymore. I love this idea! Do you notice a texture feel change? Is it sticky/tacky? Does it smell differently now? Thanks in advance. I love the turn out!
Does it change the feeling of the couch ...like the texture
That would totally be my three cats all up in my business too! It turned out gorgeous!!! That's the exact color I want to do my white couch. ❤😍 How is it holding up?
That couch is obviously heavy duty lol!
So this applies right on top of the current finish of the couch? No need to "de glaze" the leather first? Also did this end up cracking and peeling at all? If it's really just a surface treatment and isn't penetrating the material I can only assume there will be flaking with time and with movement of the leather
Oh I love
Nice results! This video is 8 months old and I was just wondering if you provide an update. Was there any cracking, peeling or dye transfer to cloths? Do you have any regrets? Thanks in advance :)

They do recommend you use a sponge to give it some texture. For me personally The brush seemed like it would be less messy. But I did notice that I do get some streaks with the brush.

How is it holing up!? Have you had any issues after?
Hi Dianna, One year pass, is paint pealing or cracking?
This looks great! How is it holding up? How easily does it clean? If you use a magic eraser on it, does it take off the colour? Is it peeling anywhere? We have a good leather couch, and the leather is in good shape, but it is cream in colour, and our children have gotten ink on it in multiple places from pens. I use a Mr. Clean magic eraser on our couch frequently because it cleans much better than just warm, soapy water. I clean our couches about 3 times a month, completely wiping them down. Wanting to restore them, but concerned about longevity, how well it washes, etc. Our couch is real leather, and were expensive, and I don't want to ruin them, but I want a darker colour to hide the dirt. We have 5 children, four of whom are ages 6-10, so you can imagine that there are lots of dirty hands, spills, etc. Our couches are in our main living room, which is well used daily. Does it feel like the original leather? Would be great to hear an update and see an updated video thus far. Thanks, so much, for any advice you can offer. :-)

All Things Godly, Good and Beautiful a quick update, I did not seal it . Im thinking I will be needing to buy this sealer for it. rubnrestore.com/leather-restoration-products/clear-prep-finish-conditioning-sealer/ I did wipe down the leather with alcohol before painting it. It has worn down in some areas but I still have more than enough left over from my 16 oz bottle to do touch ups. They do not recommend using abrasive cleaners on it. I feel like a magic eraser will definelty remove the paint off of it. I will be making an updated video of how it has worn down in some areas. It is a high use area as our tv is in here

@@dianashouseofblue4178🙂 How did the paint hold up? How did you paint in the seams/corners/etc. of the couch? I know that when you sit down on ours, you can see the inside seems of the leather cushions, so those areas are important to paint, as well, but I'm not sure how to paint them. I haven't taken the plunge to paint our sofas yet, but they desperately need it! Did you do an update video yet? Thanks, again! 🙂
Thank you for this! Really helpful! Did you apply anything on top of the paint? Like a sealant? Protective layer? Also do you mind if I ask what kind of paintbrush you used?
Did u use a sealer afterwards?
Wondering where you got the paint from and how much it was! This is exactly what I want to do!
