FAQs

What is the best way to prepare leather before painting?

The most crucial step is to use the included Pebeo Preparer-Degreaser. Apply it generously with a lint-free cloth to remove all traces of dirt, grease, and existing finishes. Allow it to dry completely before applying paint.

Can I mix the Setacolor Leather colors together?

Yes, all Setacolor Cuir (Leather) colors can be mixed together to create an infinite number of shades. This allows for precise color matching and custom creations.

How long does the paint need to dry before it's durable?

Allow at least 15 minutes between thin coats. For full curing and maximum resistance to folding, rubbing, and washing, it is recommended to let the painted item rest for several days (usually 72 hours or more) before heavy use.

Is the paint waterproof after drying?

Once fully cured, the Setacolor Leather paints are resistant to washing (at 30°C/86°F, inside out) and light rubbing. They are designed for durability on wearable items.

Can I use these paints on genuine leather only?

No, the Setacolor Leather range is specifically formulated to work on both genuine leather and synthetic leather (leatherette) materials.

What is the difference between Setacolor Leather and other Setacolor paints?

Setacolor Leather paints are specifically formulated to be flexible and adhere strongly to leather and synthetic leather, resisting cracking and peeling. Other Setacolor ranges might be designed for fabrics or other specific materials and may not offer the same performance on leather.

How do I clean up my brushes and tools after use?

Clean your brushes and tools immediately after use with water and soap. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.

Troubleshooting

Paint is cracking or peeling

Ensure the surface was thoroughly degreased with the Preparer-Degreaser before application. Apply paint in thin layers rather than thick ones, and allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Color is not opaque after multiple coats

Apply additional thin coats, allowing each to dry fully. Ensure you are using opaque colors and not a transparent or effect color if full coverage is desired.

Marker ink bleeding or smudging

Allow previous paint layers to dry completely before using the marker. Ensure the marker tip is clean and apply with steady, even pressure.

Poor adhesion on synthetic leather

Thoroughly degrease the surface with the provided preparer. Some synthetic materials may have a very smooth or non-porous finish; ensure the preparer has effectively etched the surface for adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides flexible, long-lasting color that moves with the leather.
  • Excellent adhesion and resistance to wear, folds, and scratches.
  • Opaque colors offer vibrant coverage, minimizing the number of coats needed.
  • The included preparer-degreaser is crucial for optimal results.
  • Comprehensive set with colors, marker, brush, and preparer for immediate use.
  • Allows for extensive customization and restoration of leather goods.

Cons

  • Requires surface preparation with the included degreaser for best performance.
  • While durable, extreme conditions might still affect longevity.
  • The glitter color may have a different texture compared to opaque paints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key:

  1. Ensure the leather or synthetic leather surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or silicones.
  2. Use the included Preparer-Degreaser (45ml) to thoroughly clean and degrease the area you intend to paint. Apply with a lint-free cloth and allow it to dry completely.

Application:

  1. Apply the Setacolor Leather paints in thin, even coats using a fine brush or an airbrush (diluted with the appropriate auxiliary).
  2. Allow approximately 15 minutes of drying time between coats. This can be accelerated with a hairdryer on a low setting to avoid re-diluting the previous layer.
  3. Most colors achieve opacity within a maximum of three thin layers. The Setacolor Leather Marker (Extreme Black) is ideal for outlines and fine details.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all Setacolor Leather paints, markers, and auxiliaries.
  • Primarily designed for leather and leatherette (synthetic leather).

Care:

  • Once fully dried and set (allow several days for optimal curing), the painted items can be gently cleaned.
  • Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbing. A slightly damp cloth is recommended for cleaning.
  • The paint is resistant to washing (at 30°C/86°F, inside out), light, and rubbing once properly cured.
