Try this stuff it's amazing, will even turn a green covered player to red if you wish and doesn't look like you've just painted it with gloss paint. Ideal for faded Rexine but badly damaged will have to be a re-cover.
Go to the link and search sellers other items to find many colours and shades. Gaz. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250ml-Rol...oAAOSwOgdYuzcP |

Good quality artists acrylic is perfect for this. Can be mixed to get the right colour and stays flexible. Crimson is a good match for Roberts red.

Agreed- I refinished a leather steering wheel in (cheap) acrylic, which showed no wear three years of daily use later.

I am restoring a Bush SRP30, the Cabinet was badly stained, I tried Mr Muscle Kitchen spray and small scrubbing brush, it worked a treat I am really pleased with end result. Previously with other RP I have re- covered them with Rexine, I wish I had tried this product before.

How much of a colour change could be effected using the shoe renovation cream approach do you think?
The project I am working on at the moment has dark blue rexine that responded very well to an application of dark blue cream but I want to change the dull as dish water grey / cream / faintly bluish colour to light blue. |

I can’t give you an answer, but I would certainly do a test on a small piece, if you can, you can never be sure what really will happen.

Good quality artists acrylic paints are the best for this. Apply with a damp cotton ball.
