How to paint a leather sofa?

How am i able to paint a leather sofa without damaging it? Please help

Answer:

Leo, why in the world would you want to paint a leather sofa. Of course if you paint it, you will ruin it. I would suggest a slipcover for your sofa. There are variety of colors to choose from and its easy to put on. Good luck!
No. Anything you use on it will either ruin the sofa or color any ones clothing that sits on it. Bad idea.
First you need to find out if your leather sofa is pigmented or aniline dyed. If the leather is simply fading, you can rejuvenate it by with leather products. However, if you’re looking to reapply the color or change the color altogether, I would suggest to contact a professional leather restorer. Most leather grades are “finished”, meaning a pigmented (protected) leather. Higher grade leathers are referred to as “fully aniline” or “unfinished” and it’s basically a dye that stains the leather. This type of leather can be restored to a “finished” leather, for example, by a professional restorer.
