Recolouring leather?

Morning all,

Possibly a dumb question, but here goes...

I have a Collins two-piece racing suit (complete with knee sliders and all) that is the wrong colour (black / blue / white pattern) for the Falco (red / black).

Is it possible to dye the blue leather to match the bike?

Dyeing leather is something normally left for the professionals. The furniture clinic leather dye kit though, has been designed as a DIY leather dye kit aimed at the public. A four step procedure with all products supplied with the kit allows for a professional long lasting finish. The leather dye kit is suitable for use on all leathers, furniture, car interior, jackets, handbags, saddles, shoes and can be used to change the colour of your leather or to repair certain areas. For more information please visit http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/LeatherCare.htm
Thought about it a few times to dye my mainly white and duck egg blue :smt089 drunken ebay leather purchase. Found it easier to keep buying more suits :smt003
A mate has done it but it was a dark suit to completely black so mustve been quite easy. I didnt know till he told me
