Perfect
Used the Carbusonic FDBK55 Pro Black Fabric Dye (1L) on a full sofa with a spray gun and I’m honestly so impressed. The pigment is proper black — deep, rich, and not patchy at all. It went through the spray gun really well (just make sure you shake it properly) and applied evenly. I detached my corner sofa to do it section by section and the coverage was great. It soaked in nicely rather than sitting on top, and once dry the colour looked bold and uniform. Yes, it’s a bit of a messy job (protect EVERYTHING 😂), but that’s not the product’s fault — that’s just spray life. The end result completely transformed the sofa and saved me buying a new one. If you’re thinking of doing a fabric makeover, this absolutely delivers. Rich colour, great coverage, and worth every penny.

It worked for nubuck, too!
I bought this dye looking desperately for something to dye my two pink nubuck sofas black. There's nothing available for nubuck in industrial quantities, only those ridiculous 50-ml pots just enough to dye a pair of shoes. Why can't anyone sell nubuck dye in large amounts, I've no idea! I looked everywhere and found nothing so I decided to try this one out of pure desperation. It worked like a dream. First I applied it with a brush and then I poured it into a spray bottle and it worked even better. At first I tried to dilute it half-half as the label suggested but it didn't work too well and the pink colour still seeped through, making the sofas appear dark brown. I applied a second coat neat, without diluting, and it turned my sofas a perfectly black colour. Naturally, at first I was afraid to even sit on them but once they dried out, the colour didn't run at all. You can sit, lie and roll on them with no damage to light-coloured clothes whatsoever. I've washed the sofas since with a soapy sponge and the colour didn't run, either. The nubuck texture hasn't lost any of its properties. This turned out to be one of the best buys for our house and I can't recommend it enough.

Simple, quick, effective
1l bought to restore 2012 ford transit headliner.. generously applied 1 coat with a sponge, about 20-30 mins later we're probably about 95% there with maybe 1/3rd of the tub left. Makes a world of difference to the stock grey

An honest Review
Here goes. I was dubious about buying this due to the negative reviews, but I took a risk and I must say I'm quite pleased with my results. Firstly. Be prepared. The bottle is much smaller than you would imagine when it arrives as you can see on one of my photos with a standard mug next to the bottle. It is 1lt (1000ml) though. (This has been one of the negative reviews unexpected size vs price ) Secondly - don't expect 1 bottle to be enough for a peice of furniture (depending on the effect you want of course) Very easy to use and mix. I used the spray bottle method after reading other people's reviews. I diluted in thirds for my first bottle into a 500ml spray bottle. I used a small old jug (as It wont wash properly after use) to measure the dye and pour into the spray bottle, and then the same for the water, into the jug first then into the bottle. When shook, the mixture does throth up a little. Shake the bottle before use, but it does throth up a little so just prepare for that. It won't explode like fizzy pop though! After the first bottle, my results were admittedly patchy, mainly due to the sofa material soaking up the mixture and not the actual coverage by the spray, so I knew I would need another bottle. My first bottle 300ml + 200ml water 300ml + 200ml water 400ml + 100ml water final coat Second bottle 300ml + 200ml water 300ml + 100ml water 400ml + small amount of water for nearly a neat mixture. The spray bottle did go down quickly and as I did my first coat coverage looked even but my sofa did start to soak it up a little which made it patchy. Half way through my second method I rubbed over the sofa (use either a kitchen sponge or hands with latext/rubber gloves) to make sure the mixture had got into the fibres... This was a small 2 seater sofa, and in all honesty I could probably go again with a third bottle but due to cost I decided against it and got some cushion covers... I have got the frame of the sofa a lovely solid black after 2 bottles. Took about 48 - 72 hours to fully air dry in a warm room with heating on. It is a very runny dye, and even more so with added water, so is a messy job. Wear gloves and if you get it anywhere you shouldn't, wipe it off straight away as when it drys it doesn't budge! So far, when touched when dried, the dye hasn't come off the sofa onto hands or clothing.... All in all, I think the dye is good, and suited for purpose, but you need more than you first think to get professional results. The sofa I have covered was a light blue colour, different colours or materials may cover differently!. After spending £46 on 2 1ltr bottles, I realise they sell a 5lt bottle for £36 + postage costs, which admittedly would have worked out cheaper for more....but I was impatient and wanted prime next day delivery and didn't see the second larger bottle until after I had purchased the first small.

initially impressed this quickly diminished.
Initially was impressed by this product it went on a lovely colour similar to the bottle and seemed to spread evenly, but as it dried it went very dark and left a patchy finish even after two coats it was still very patchy. The overall finish i would say is not suitable for furnishing or clothing it leaves a very uncomfortable and stiff feel to the fabric which really does not offer much in the way of comfort so its definitely would not be using this on furnishings of any kind luckily the table chairs i tried it on are ready for the bin so it was worth the risk. 3 stars only as there is no mention of the colour drying darker or the fact that it ruins soft furnishings texture.

Very good true black!
This is a true black. It does not dilute to blue nor brown. This 1lt bottle diluted was enough to dye the head linging in my car. With 3 coats, even coverage. Has died leather trims also. Came out very well.

Perfekt
Ich habe damit den Himmel meines Autos gefärbt/lackiert. Bin vollkommen zufrieden. Trocknet schnell durch, ist grifffest und gibt auch keinen Geruch ab. Selbst im Sommer wenn das Auto in der Sonne steht. Ich habe es mit einer lackierpistole in drei Gängen aufgetragen und dafür die gesamte Farbe gebraucht (Kombi Dachhimmel). Hat super gedeckt und 1 Jahr danach ist immernoch alles perfekt. Absolut empfehlenswert

Great depth of colour and easy to apply
Great product, using it to change the colour of the headlining in our Sprinter Motorhome conversion. It's going to need more than I expected so I have ordered more but very happy with the result and ease of use.

Viene via con della semplice acqua
Pessimo, comprato per tingere delle sedie in velluto, dopo aver atteso giorni, basta un panno umido per far venire via il colore. Risultato, sedie da ritapezzare.
