Dyeing a Whitten?

Has anyone ever tried to dye a Whitten case? Leather prep required? Is one coat sufficient, or does it scratch too easy?

THANKS!
 
i've seen it done 2 times
once was the same color to 'restore' the case, i did it on a 1x2 smooth black. Looked good.

other was some doing a 2x4 a different color... looked 'ok' but i think the case lost some 'class' by the look... it was also smooth leather.

I wouldn't recommend it.....
no prep was needed...
i definitely wouldn't do a textured leather
one coat wasn't sufficient
no it didn't scratch easy- it isn't paint, it's a dye.

it just doesn't look 'right' when it's done...

just my .02...........trying to help...
 
sell in in the wanted/sale section and grab one you really want :-)

either call whitten himself or goto IndyQ.com and see what roy has- he sells for just the same as Dan sells them....

i have had 5 whitten's and LOVE them...
 
...

They've got some nice stuff!!!
Let me know if you want / need a well used 3x4 grey - :)
Thanks for the input.
