Removal of paint from holster

[lugerholsterrepair]

Don, Great job! Shoe polish has oily pigment in it that is meant to repel things found at shoe level, water, dog doo etc. Please stay away from gunking up your holster with it. It looks like your holster has no white thread so dying it wouldn't be a problem. Dye is much different than shoe polish. Meant to do a different job totally. I will give out a trade secret...Go to Wall Mart and go to the shoe section.There you will find a Kiwi product in a 2.5 oz bottle with a sponge applicator on top. It is BlacK Leather dye. It says it restores color and finish before polishing. What they mean is, it requires no shoe polish. Once it dries thouroughly and I mean completely, wait an hour or two, set it in the sun or a dry place. Once it is completely dry take a soft cotton rag and lightly rub and polish the surface. It is an amazing product. It will really dress up your holster. Put it on pretty liberally but don't let it drip or pool. Use the applicator to feather it out. Try not to create bubbles and if you do, blow on them. If I want to doll up a doggy holster this is the stuff I pull out of my bag of tricks. Only costs $2.49.You will never use it all in your lifetime. Let me know what you think if you try it. It's not oily and has no smell. Good Luck! Jerry Burney
