irrien Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hi, a quick question. Is there anyway to repair the scratches or marks on Barker high shine shoes. They are not actually scratched but the marks are lighter on what would be scuffs? i have the same problem with a pair of Grenson's that are black over red Rob.

irrien Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 heres the pics, they look worse than they are. These are the Grenson's they are an oxblood colour in high shine but the the scuffs (?) show as a brighter red. To be honest I would not get high shine shoes again, but wondering if anything can be done. to make them look reasonable again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Appears that top finish coat (usually sprayed on) has rubbed off more than scratched off. Common problem. Not difficult to sort out but may need to seek professional help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 See this alot, very poor quality finish. It's a poor attempt at an antique finish. But everytime they are lightly touched, usually by the opposite shoe, they are marked. Fiebings professional oil dye in an airbrush is a great way to deal with it. But you must prepare well. Take them to a professional in this field to get great results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzke Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Or strip and redye them?? It's like a film over the top with powder sandwiched in between. saphir decapant works well taking the clear coating off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
