Hi people i made mistake.... i bought suede jacket i really like it unfortunately even after tarrago spray for protection from rain and other things i have some spots and marks from coffee... i manage to remove them with suede brush, unfortunately , jacket colour now is lost in two places very visible.... i spoke with several leather cleaning pros, no one wants to paint suede they told me its impossible....
what do u think i need partial painting in some places?
Please advice me for a product which i can buy and do it by my self or other option is to be done by pro if possible....
people told me that they paint suede with leather colours became plastic... so better to avoid

I contacted two leather refurbishing specialists about a similar proposal. I was considering buying, at a big discount, a Valstar suede jacket that was new except for some fading due to sun exposure. They both told me they would not do any work on suede involving changing the overall color. One told me he was no longer able to purchase a particular chemical needed to stabilize the color and have it adhere properly. The other said the method required to achieve a good result would almost certainly shrink and otherwise alter the fit of the jacket.

So absolutely no solution , i will be very sad and faded all my life if someone know more let me know, how about whole europe may be there is a factory or something which can paint it?

Suede is tricky and not exactly the most wash and wear material on the market. Most folks won’t touch it and those that will typically haven’t a clue.

Good luck!

You could try Fiebings suede dye.
I have no experience with it, and do not endorse it, but would love to know how it turns out

I've seen this done on shoes with good results. A jacket, given the sheer size and softness of the material is entirely different.
