Sie ist kein Sortiment aus Einzelprodukten, sondern ein Ablauf nach Datenblatt: entfetten, grundieren, füllen, färben, mit Top Coat versiegeln, das Finish über Additive einstellen. Entstanden ist die Linie seit 1995 im Lederzentrum, heute gehört der Lederspezialist zu Koch-Chemie in Unna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarbe wird aufgebaut, nicht aufgestrichen.\u003c\/strong\u003e Farben und Top Coats sind wasserbasierte Polyurethan-Dispersionen: Polymerteilchen schwimmen im Wasser, beim Verdunsten rücken sie zusammen und verschmelzen zu einem geschlossenen, elastischen Film. So ein Film verträgt Dehnung im dreistelligen Prozentbereich — genug für das Stauchen einer Sitzfläche beim Einsteigen.

Bei uns landen regelmäßig Anfragen zu nachgefärbten Seitenwangen, die im Streiflicht speckig glänzen, während der Rest des Sitzes seidenmatt bleibt — die Farbe stimmt, die Lichtbrechung nicht. Deshalb gehört vor jede Fläche eine Musterstelle: an der Sitzunterseite oder hinter der Lehne eine handtellergroße Probe anlegen, komplett durchtrocknen lassen und im Tageslicht neben das Original halten. Nass wirkt jeder Farbton dunkler und glänzender als trocken, ein Urteil nach fünf Minuten führt zuverlässig in die Irre. Stimmt der Glanz nicht, korrigierst du ihn nicht mit mehr Farbe, sondern über das Mischungsverhältnis im Top Coat oder über den Mattierungszusatz COLOURLOCK \"Duller\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBei COLOURLOCK kommt Färben aus der Werkstatt, nicht aus dem Regal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLederfarbe gibt es in zwei Welten. Die eine steckt in Tönungssets für den Endkunden: aufgetupft, oberflächlich, ohne großen Schichtaufbau, dafür kaum falsch zu machen. Die andere ist Beschichtungschemie, die mit Sprühpistole, Trocknungspausen und Mischverhältnissen arbeitet. Diese Linie gehört in die zweite Welt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Grund liegt in der Herkunft. Das Lederzentrum belieferte ab 1995 Sattler und Aufbereiter, deren Alltag aus abgegriffenen Lenkradkränzen, ausgeblichenen Armaturenbrett-Bezügen und Sitzwangen besteht, an denen die Farbschicht durchgerieben ist. Entwickelt wurde deshalb nicht ein Produkt, das alles kann, sondern eine Kette von Schritten, die Profis in fester Reihenfolge abarbeiten. Seit Oktober 2023 gehört der Lederspezialist zu Koch-Chemie; im Shop läuft die Linie deshalb unter dem Vendor Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie Chemie dahinter ist über die Jahre leiser geworden. Lösemittelhaltige Lacksysteme sind weitgehend verschwunden, heute arbeiten Farben und Top Coats wasserbasiert auf Polyurethan- und Acrylat-Dispersionen. Für dich heißt das: kein Lösemittelgeruch im Innenraum, dafür ein Trocknungsverhalten, das von Temperatur und Luftfeuchte abhängt. Wasser verdunstet langsamer als Lösemittel, und genau daraus entsteht die Geduld, die dieser Ablauf verlangt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWas diese Linie einem Reparaturset voraushat, ist nicht die Farbe, sondern der Zugriff auf jeden einzelnen Parameter. Deckkraft, Glanzgrad, Griff, Viskosität und Vernetzungsgrad sind getrennt einstellbar. Das ist mehr Entscheidung, als ein Fertigprodukt verlangt, und weniger Nacharbeit, wenn das Ergebnis neben einer Originalfläche bestehen muss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJede Gruppe der Linie löst genau eine Aufgabe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAm Anfang steht die \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-grundierung\"\u003eGrundierung \u0026amp; Haftvermittler\u003c\/a\u003e: Sie sorgt dafür, dass die Farbe überhaupt eine Verbindung eingeht. COLOURLOCK \"Leather Primer\" zieht in das angeschliffene, entfettete Glattleder ein und bildet die Brücke zwischen Ledernarbe und Farbfilm. COLOURLOCK \"Blocker\" ist der Sonderfall für Altleder: eine Sperrschicht gegen alles, was von unten nachdrängt — gewanderte Weichmacher, alte Fettdepots, ausblutende Jeansfarbstoffe. Und COLOURLOCK \"Plastic Primer ND\" übernimmt dieselbe Aufgabe auf Kunststoffteilen, deren Oberfläche für wasserbasierte Farbe von Haus aus zu glatt ist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-lederfarben\"\u003eLederfarben\u003c\/a\u003e sind die Gruppe, die Farbe wirklich ersetzt statt sie aufzufrischen. COLOURLOCK \"Leather Colour\" deckt oberflächengefärbtes Glattleder pigmentiert ab und ist das Produkt für echte Umfärbungen und für Flächen, auf denen die Werksfarbe durch ist. COLOURLOCK \"Binder\" (Neutral) arbeitet daneben ohne Pigment: Er kriecht in flächig brüchig gewordenes Leder, verklebt lose Fasern von innen und schafft die tragfähige Basis, auf der Farbe später gleichmäßig deckt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-farbauffrischer\"\u003eFarbauffrischer\u003c\/a\u003e setzen eine Stufe früher an, nämlich dort, wo die Farbschicht noch trägt und nur müde aussieht. COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh\" gibt es als farbneutrale Basis in mehreren Glanzgraden, von der dullen Variante für die matte Werksoptik bis zur glänzenden für Leder, das sichtbar mehr Glanz tragen soll. Für Nubuk, Velours und offenporiges Rauleder gibt es mit \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-nubuck-fresh\"\u003eNubuck Fresh\u003c\/a\u003e die eigene Basis, weil eine filmbildende Farbe die samtige Oberfläche zerstören würde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-top-coat\"\u003eTop Coat \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/a\u003e ist die Schicht, die am Ende die Arbeit schützt. Er liegt als klarer, elastischer Film über der Farbe, nimmt den Abrieb auf und legt gleichzeitig den Glanzgrad fest — vom matten Abschluss, der Licht diffus streut, über einen leichten Glanz bis zum hochglänzenden Finish für Lackleder-Optik. COLOURLOCK \"Top Life\" ist der Oberflächenschutz für den Fall, dass die frisch gefärbte Fläche zusätzlich gegen Reibung abgesichert werden soll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-additive\"\u003eAdditive \u0026amp; Hilfsmittel\u003c\/a\u003e sind die Stellschrauben. COLOURLOCK \"Duller\" senkt den Glanz stufenlos, COLOURLOCK \"Soft Slip\" macht die Oberfläche samtig, COLOURLOCK \"Wax Slip\" wachsig-griffig, COLOURLOCK \"Thickener\" dickt an, damit nichts an senkrechten Sitzwangen abläuft, und COLOURLOCK \"Crosslinker CD\" erhöht als \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-vernetzer\"\u003eVernetzer\u003c\/a\u003e die Beständigkeit gegen Nassabrieb. COLOURLOCK \"Stitch Covering Gel\" gehört funktional dazu, obwohl es nichts einstellt: Es deckt helle Kontrastnähte ab, damit sie beim Sprühen nicht mitgefärbt werden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAuffrischen, Färben und Stabilisieren sind drei verschiedene Arbeiten\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDie häufigste Rückfrage, die uns zu dieser Linie erreicht, lautet sinngemäß: Reicht Auffrischen, oder muss ich färben. Die Antwort steckt im Zustand der Farbschicht, nicht im Alter des Autos. Ist sie geschlossen und wirkt nur stumpf, ungleichmäßig glänzend oder farblich müde, ist COLOURLOCK \"Leather Fresh\" der passende Aufwand. Ist sie durchgerieben und das Leder darunter kommt hell durch, hilft nur noch Pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDann übernimmt COLOURLOCK \"Leather Colour\". Der Unterschied ist kein gradueller: Der Auffrischer harmonisiert eine vorhandene Optik, die Lederfarbe baut eine neue Deckschicht auf. Entsprechend anders ist die Anwendung — Auffrischer lassen sich mit Schwamm und Tuch flächig verarbeiten, eine echte Umfärbung wird gesprüht, weil nur der feine Nebel die dünne, gleichmäßige Schicht liefert, die elastisch bleibt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie dritte Arbeit ist die unsichtbarste. COLOURLOCK \"Binder\" (Neutral) verändert weder Farbe noch Glanz, er festigt. Bei einem Leder, das großflächig mürbe ist und beim Drücken feine Krakelee-Muster zeigt, ist er der Schritt, ohne den jede Farbe darüber mitreißt. Binder tränkt, Leather Fresh gleicht an, Leather Colour deckt ab — wer diese drei verwechselt, arbeitet zweimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEine Grenze verläuft quer durch alle drei: Fühlbare Schäden gehören nicht in diese Kategorie. Was du mit dem Fingernagel als Kante spürst, muss vorher geschlossen werden. Risse, Löcher und ausgebrochene Kanten löst die \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reparatur\"\u003eReparatur\u003c\/a\u003e mit Kleber, Füllstoff und Spachtelmasse. Farbe hat keine Füllkraft; über eine offene Kante gelegt betont sie diese sogar und platzt dort als Erstes wieder ab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSchritt null ist der Entfetter, nicht die Farbe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKein Schritt entscheidet so stark über die Haltbarkeit wie der, den fast alle abkürzen. Hautfett, Schweiß und Silikone aus Cockpit-Sprays liegen als hauchdünner Trennfilm auf dem Leder, und wasserbasierte Grundierungen und Farben haften darauf nicht. Deshalb steht am Anfang die Reinigung und danach ein \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-reinigung-entfetter\"\u003eEntfetter\u003c\/a\u003e, der so lange gearbeitet wird, bis sich ein weißes Baumwolltuch leicht in der Lederfarbe verfärbt. Dieser Farbabrieb ist das Signal, dass das alte Finish offen liegt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDanach folgt der Ablauf ohne Abkürzung: Kontrastnähte abdecken, die Fläche mit einem feinen Schleifpad mattieren, grundieren, füllen und zwischenschleifen, färben, versiegeln. Das Mattieren wirkt nebensächlich, vergrößert aber die Fläche, an der sich Grundierung und Farbe festhalten, und bricht die oxidierte Restschicht des alten Top Coats auf. Die Grundierung selbst wird bewusst dünn gehalten und nur bis zum leicht klebrigen Zustand angetrocknet — eine dicke Primerschicht bleibt weich und lässt die Farbe darüber später wandern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeim Farbauftrag gilt eine einzige Regel: viele Nebelschichten statt weniger nasser. Zwischen den Gängen kurz mit warmer Luft forcieren, dann die nächste Lage. Aus dem Detailing1-Alltag: Rechne für zwei Vordersitze eher mit einem ganzen Tag als mit drei Stunden, und der größte Teil davon ist Warten. Eine zu dick aufgetragene Schicht härtet als starrer Block aus, fühlt sich nach Kunststoff an und reißt an der ersten Biegekante.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Abschluss ist der Top Coat, und dort fällt die Glanz-Entscheidung. Matt und glänzend werden im Verhältnis gemischt, bis der Glanzgrad zur Umgebung passt, und ein bis zwei Prozent Vernetzer kommen frisch dazu. Danach zählt nur noch Zeit: Thermisch ist die Fläche nach Minuten trocken, chemisch durchvernetzt ist sie erst nach 24 bis 48 Stunden. Wer den Sitz vorher belastet oder Pflegemilch aufträgt, arbeitet Fett in eine Schicht, die noch nicht fertig ist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWo das Färben aufhört und der Sattler anfängt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEine Zone ist gesperrt, und dort geht es nicht um Optik. In den Außenwangen vieler Sitzlehnen sitzt die Reißnaht des Seitenairbags. Sie ist als Sollbruchstelle ausgelegt und dokumentationspflichtig; wird sie überlackiert, mit Füllstoff verschlossen oder durch harte, vernetzte Farbschichten versteift, verschiebt sich das Auslöseverhalten im Millisekundenbereich. Arbeiten an dieser Naht gehören in einen Sattlerfachbetrieb mit entsprechendem Sachkundenachweis, unabhängig davon, wie sauber du den Rest beherrschst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDie zweite Grenze ist perforiertes Leder in klimatisierten Sitzen. Farbe und Füller laufen in die Lochmatrix und setzen sie zu, und damit ist nicht nur die Optik hin, sondern die Sitzbelüftung. Profis sprühen dort mit mehr Abstand und weniger Materialfluss trocken im Kreuzgang und stoßen zugesetzte Poren vor dem Aushärten wieder frei. Wir haben an einem perforierten Musterstück nachgestellt, wie schnell das kippt: Nach der dritten Lage waren die Löcher am Rand der Fläche geschlossen, und die verstopften Poren fielen am Ende deutlich mehr auf als der helle Abrieb, um den es ursprünglich ging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffenporiges Anilinleder ist der dritte Fall. Technisch lässt es sich pigmentiert überfärben, praktisch verliert es dabei genau das, wofür es gekauft wurde: die weiche, atmungsaktive Haptik. Ähnlich ehrlich muss man bei stark verhärtetem, geschrumpftem Leder sein — wenn das Material beim Biegen knackt und sich wie Karton anfühlt, ist die Faserstruktur hin. Keine Farbe stellt sie wieder her. Und wo Nähte gerissen sind oder das Trägergewebe durch ist, hält keine Beschichtung die Bezugsspannung; das ist Sattlerarbeit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eZuletzt die Grenze, über die am meisten diskutiert wird: der Farbton. Ein exakt nach Werksrezeptur angemischter Ton trifft ein zehn Jahre altes Leder nicht mehr, weil UV-Licht und Wärme den Bestand verschoben haben. Dazu kommt Metamerie — zwei Farben, die im Tageslicht identisch wirken, können unter Kunstlicht auseinanderlaufen. Deshalb wird in der Praxis bis zur nächsten Naht durchgefärbt statt punktuell ausgebessert: Die Naht ist die optische Bruchkante, hinter der eine kleine Nuancenabweichung nicht mehr auffällt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDein Lederzustand bestimmt, wo du einsteigst\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFahr mit dem Fingernagel über die Stelle und schau dir an, was übrig ist. Sitzt die Farbschicht noch geschlossen und wirkt nur stumpf oder ungleichmäßig, reicht ein Auffrischer aus der Leather-Fresh-Familie im passenden Glanzgrad, ergänzt um \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-faerben-mattierung\"\u003eMattierungszusatz\u003c\/a\u003e, falls die Werksoptik matter ist als das Ergebnis. Kommt heller Untergrund durch, beginnt die Arbeit bei Grundierung und COLOURLOCK \"Leather Colour\". Ist die Fläche flächig mürbe, steht COLOURLOCK \"Binder\" (Neutral) davor. Bei Nubuk und Velours führt der Weg ausschließlich über COLOURLOCK \"Nubuck Fresh\" (Neutral).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDer Farbton kommt danach, und dafür gibt es die Abkürzung über das Fahrzeug: Die \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-original-lederfarben\"\u003eOriginal-Lederfarben\u003c\/a\u003e sind nach Muster angemischt und nach Automarke sortiert, von Audi und BMW über Mercedes-Benz und Porsche bis zu Volvo und Land Rover. Du wählst also nicht aus einer Farbkarte, sondern über dein Modell — und ergänzt bei gealtertem Leder eine Musterfläche, bevor der ganze Sitz drankommt. Wer den kompletten Aufbau in einem Rutsch braucht, findet ihn abgestimmt in den \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock-sets-faerbe-sets\"\u003eKomplett-Färbe-Sets\u003c\/a\u003e. Alle übrigen Produkte der Marke stehen eine Ebene höher: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/koch-chemie-colourlock\"\u003eAlles von COLOURLOCK\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEine realistische Erwartung gehört dazu. Eine fachgerecht aufgebaute Färbung hält auf Lenkrad und Einstiegsflanke rund drei bis fünf Jahre, im Alltag grob 50.000 bis 80.000 Kilometer, bevor am Top Coat die ersten Glanzstellen auftauchen. Auf wenig beanspruchten Flächen deutlich länger. Danach wird nicht neu gefärbt, sondern die Verschleißschicht erneuert — das ist der Unterschied zwischen einem System und einem Anstrich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnd der Punkt, an dem die meisten Färbungen scheitern, ist nicht die Farbe. Es ist der Top Coat, den man weglässt, weil die Fläche nach dem Färben schon gut aussieht. Reine Lederfarbe hat kein nennenswertes Abriebvermögen; ohne die klare Schutzschicht darüber reibt sich die frische Pigmentschicht an Jeansnähten und Gürtelschnallen innerhalb weniger Monate wieder ab. Wer am Top Coat spart, spart am einzigen Schritt, der die Farbe hält.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"koch-chemie-colourlock-binder-neutral-neutrale-fuellfarbe","title":"COLOURLOCK \"Binder\" (Neutral) — neutral filler for brittle, cracked leather","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCOLOURLOCK Binder (Neutral) — neutral filler for structural leather repairs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does COLOURLOCK Binder Neutral do? — The neutral binder stabilises damaged leather surfaces, fills fine cracks and worn spots, strengthens the structure and forms the load-bearing base before colour-specific products like Leather Fresh or Fluid Leather go on.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Binder (Neutral)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the professional base coat for structural leather repairs.

As leather turns microscopically brittle over time through friction and UV, the binder acts like a repairing „primer-filler“: it links loose pigment particles, closes small breaks and stops further fraying. Koch-Chemie says the layer stays elastic so the leather keeps its natural give. The neutral binder changes neither colour nor sheen — it just delivers the structural stability that makes the next colour coats grip far better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrep, application \u0026amp; the right repair sequence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you use the \u003cstrong\u003eBinder\u003c\/strong\u003e, the leather should be cleaned and degreased thoroughly so the filler can work in evenly. You lay the binder down thin with a sponge, dauber or brush and build it up in several fine coats until the surface feels structurally sound again. Let it flash off briefly between coats so you don’t get uneven patches. On slightly deeper damage you can lightly sand in between to smooth things out. After the binder phase comes the colour build-up: Leather Fresh for light colour touch-ups or Fluid Leather for heavier repairs.

It sinks gently into the top layers of pigmented smooth leather and re-activates the way light bounces off it, so dry spots stand out less and scratches look visually closed. According to Koch-Chemie, the technical base is a flexible binder matrix that keys into the PU top-coat of modern automotive leather. That keeps the natural feel just as soft and doesn't build the surface up. Most mistakes come from laying it on too thick — the thinner and more targeted you work, the more invisibly the repair blends in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrep, spot repair \u0026amp; getting the application right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you start, clean the leather thoroughly with a mild cleaner so oils and dust don't get in the way of adhesion.

A water-based leather dye for refreshing surface-pigmented smooth leather in cars and on furniture. 32 shades from black and havana to bright pink and metallic effects, in 100 ml, 250 ml and 1 litre.

For decades the product was known as \"Leder Fresh\"; since Koch-Chemie took it over it goes by Leather Colour internationally. The water-based polymer blend dries to a thin, elastic colour film that bonds straight into the leather's existing pigment layer. What that means for you: no rigid coat of paint sitting on top, but a flexible colour bond that moves with every shift on the seat and won't crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM colour match by VIN or colour code from 32 standard shades.\u003c\/strong\u003e The range covers the most common car and furniture colours — from black and tar black through havana, caramel and chocolate to red-brown, bordeaux, fir green, deep blue and violet. On top of that, seven bright colours (bright yellow, bright green, bright orange, bright pink, bright red) and five metallics in gold, silver, copper, brass and pearl. BMW Dakota, Mercedes Nappa, Audi Valcona and Porsche Club can usually be matched straight from this palette with no custom mix — an edge that cheap rivals just don't give you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScales from the steering wheel up to a full interior.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 250 ml bottle, dabbed on with a sponge, is good for roughly four to six worn steering wheels or two yellowed seat bolsters. The 1 litre bottle is built for upholsterers and reconditioners — with a compressed-air sprayer and a reactive hardener it covers about a full saloon interior, seats and door cards included. The 100 ml size is the metallic and bright-colour format for creative accents or smaller design areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTouch-dry after 5 to 10 minutes of hot-air drying, but only fully load-bearing after about 30 hours.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the most important number in the whole guide. Sit down in light jeans the next morning and you'll rip open yesterday's work — the colour film needs the whole following day to build its final bond with the leather. Respect the 30 hours and you get a surface that shrugs off years of jeans abrasion in one go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e We see one mistake all the time that kills any leather dye on the spot — reaching for brake cleaner as a supposedly thorough degreaser on a heavily soiled steering wheel. Brake cleaner is a highly aggressive solvent mix. It doesn't just strip the skin oils, it wrecks the tanning deep in the leather fibre. After that the substrate is gone for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWhat we see day-to-day: no colour system on earth — neither Leather Colour nor rivals like Ledermax or Leather Expert — gets any grip on that. The polymer bond needs an intact pigment layer as an anchor. Once that's etched away, the colour flakes off after a few days. With a 5-euro brake cleaner you've done leather damage on the scale of a full re-trim. We've seen it more than once, and every time it's final.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe only right way to degrease runs in two clean steps. First a deep-pore pre-wash with COLOURLOCK Leather Cleaner and a soft leather brush worked into the grain. Then leather-grade naphtha (not methylated spirit, not acetone, not brake cleaner) until the surface is dead matt and a white microfibre cloth picks up no more colour. Only then does the dye go on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDabbing, spraying, airbrushing with the leather dye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou never lay the \u003cstrong\u003eleather dye\u003c\/strong\u003e down as one thick coat, but in several wafer-thin layers with a light sand between them. A steering wheel typically takes three to four such layers, a fully yellowed seat bolster four to six. Try to get full coverage in one go and you'll end up with a rubbery, rough surface that feels like brushed-on paint — which is exactly what Leather Colour is not meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the DIY dabbing method you put a few drops of \u003cstrong\u003eCOLOURLOCK Leather Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e straight onto the sponge — never onto the leather. Then you dab from seam to seam in small circular micro-movements, evenly thin, no puddles. Between each layer, warm it for 5 to 10 minutes with a hairdryer on a medium setting. This forced drying is not optional. What that means for you: the heat pulls the polymer chains into a clean bond. On room air alone the film takes too long to close and the result stays patchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the heat comes a 30-second sand with the leather sanding pad in 4000 grit, and a microfibre wipe after that. That way the colour builds a calm, satin-matt film that traces the grain instead of clogging it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the pro workflow the dye goes on with a compressed-air gun or airbrush with a fine nozzle — above all on full seat sets or door cards, where dabbing would take days. Here the crosslinker from the COLOURLOCK range comes in at a low dose. In plain terms: a reactive hardener that ties extra bonds into the colour film and makes the surface far more abrasion-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters is the pot life after mixing — that's a few hours, after which the blend in the cup is useless. So if you work with hardener, you mix only as much as you'll actually spray straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking temperature sits at 18 to 24 degrees. Below 15 degrees the dye won't cure reliably; above 30 the surface skins over before the colour film has pulled deep enough into the grain. In a cold garage in winter the rule is: preheat for at least an hour — the seats and the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Leather Colour can do and where Fluid Leather takes over\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeather Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pure colour refresh for intact or lightly worn smooth leather — not an all-round repair fix. It turns a matt, yellowed seat back into an OEM-clean surface, but it can't fill cracks and can't structurally rebuild a seat that's sat through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cstrong\u003esurface-pigmented smooth leather\u003c\/strong\u003e with an intact pigment layer (BMW Dakota, Mercedes Nappa, Audi Valcona, Porsche Club, standard aniline with a sealer) the dye builds the film perfectly. On pigmented synthetic leathers like Mediflex or most OEM faux leathers it works too — here the crosslinker helps for maximum durability. On hard interior plastics you can use the dye with the matching Plastics Primer as a bonding base, say to touch up cockpit trims, door handles or controls colour-wise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOff limits, on the other hand, are aniline leather with no pigment layer, nubuck and suede. These leathers are open-pored — the dye seals up the natural breathability, kills the hand feel and turns soft aniline into a stiff, plastic-like surface. If your seat still feels warm and soft and soaks up water droplets instead of beading them off, Leather Colour is the wrong product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere only the aniline products from the same range help, such as COLOURLOCK Aniline \u0026amp; Nubuck Cleaner followed by aniline cream. On bycast and pure PU leather the dye won't form a stable bond either and flakes off after days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeep cracks, sat-through bolsters with the padding showing — that's not a colour problem, it's a structural one. Brush dye over that and you're pouring water into a crater. The right order: first work \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-fluid-leather-lederfarbe-fuer-reparaturen\"\u003eCOLOURLOCK Fluid Leather\u003c\/a\u003e into the crack as a filler, smooth it with the GLD pen and let it set. Only then does Leather Colour go on top as the colour finish. The two products are complementary, not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe simple if-then logic: if the seat is structurally sound and only the colour looks worn → Leather Colour. If the seat shows cracks or exposed padding → Fluid Leather first, then Leather Colour. If the seat is aniline or nubuck leather → no leather dye, but aniline care and accepting the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho buys 100 ml, who 250 ml, who 1 litre\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe size tells you straight away which league you're working in. The \u003cstrong\u003e100 ml bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e comes only in the metallic-effect colours (brass, gold, copper, pearl, silver) and the bright colours — special shades for accents on steering-wheel spokes, lettering or design seats. One bottle covers several small detail areas or a complete steering wheel in a special colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e250 ml bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e is the standard format for hobby users. A steering wheel or a yellowed seat bolster is covered without any worry — four to six steering wheels or two to three bolsters is realistic, depending on the number of layers and how thirsty the substrate is. It covers 25 of the 32 standard shades, from black and havana through to the big colour classics and the metallic effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e1 litre bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pro format for upholsterers, smart-repair outfits and ambitious detailers refreshing whole interiors. With a compressed-air sprayer and hardener, 1 litre is good for about a full saloon interior, seats and door cards. Per square metre of seat surface the material cost stays well below comparable pre-mixed sets from Ledermax or Geist, because here a concentrate is scaled up rather than a ready-made application solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the real value only shows up through the whole range behind it. Detailing1 carries the complete \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lederpflege\"\u003eleather care line\u003c\/a\u003e from COLOURLOCK: leather-grade naphtha for degreasing, Leather Cleaner Mild and Strong for the pre-wash, the leather sanding pad for the intermediate sand, Fluid Leather for cracks, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koch-chemie-colourlock-leather-shield-leder-versiegelung\"\u003eLeather Shield\u003c\/a\u003e for the final seal. Without that stack the dye delivers only a fraction of its durability — the life of the job hangs about 80 percent on the prep. Buy the bottle on its own and you dye once and curse the flaking a week later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd one pro trick the manufacturer's brochure won't print: on UV-faded seats the original OEM colour code often no longer matches exactly. Experienced users then hand-mix two or three neighbouring shades from the 32-strong range with a pipette — until a test spot in a hidden place (the underside of the seat, say) matches perfectly. That's fifteen minutes of trial and it saves the whole custom-mix order, which otherwise quickly means several weeks' wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second pro rule is mundane but it costs most hobby users their work: 30 hours of curing at room temperature is non-negotiable. The first 10 minutes of hot-air drying only build the visible film. The material reaches full mechanical strength only the next day — sit on it sooner and you rip open yesterday's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Koch-Chemie × COLOURLOCK","offers":[{"title":"White \/
