Wondering if there is a better way to do this. I like my jacket, its still in vgc.

Without bothering to get pics, this one is similar to mine:

https://www.sportbikes.net/forums/attachments/gear-sale/58472d1126884175-fs-alpinestars-dyno-leather-jacket-pic2.jpg

Mine is black all over, with red only on top of the arms, white band around chest and under arms - same as this Sick. I do not like white (clothes or bikes, why must they ruin them!?!) and after may years, a few slides, and lots of dirt, its more of a grey.. I decided to spray the white bits with a poundland can of black (bloody good stuff imo). It stuck surprisingly well and Ive done about 1000 miles over the last month in it.

White is starting to show again at the creases. Quite happy to give another coat every month, just wondering if there is a more permanent but equally cheap solution?

Why did you buy a white jacket if you don't like white?

Not sure what would be a more permanent solution but maybe consider buying a jacket in colours you like next time Laughing

I bought a set of leather of a fella on here that had been crashed in. Looked like this:

I bought some red leather dye off eBay. You apply it with a sponge in thin layers. Looks like this now:

Not an exact match, but good enough for me. Black should be easy.

Dye for leather shoes will work, as Aff said!
