[QUOTE="Iceheart, post: 80464, member: 539"] White-white is actually tougher to dye than a cream-color or natural leather, or so my leather expert assures me. She says the chemicals they have to use to seal white leathers make it hard to dye them anything else. You can, however, airbrush over white and that works better than airbrushing over cream or natural. So, it'll depend on how you're planning to color your stuff. She's also pretty sure that the originals were all airbrushed, however she did end up just dip-dyeing my stuff and it turned out fabulously. If you're looking to have a professional do it for you, I HIGHLY recommend her work. Her name is Steph, [email]turnerblueflame@hotmail.com[/email] and she's already done this song and dance before so there won't be as much trial and error as we had on mine. I second the good luck! Take lots of pictures so we can all learn from your mistakes! ;) Julie [/QUOTE]
