Those chairs are only spray painted for color.
It would be easy to change the color. I did a
small repair on my lazy boy, after I tried to remove
a ballpoint pen mark, and rubbed off the paint.
At the time I was under the impression that the
color was tanned into the leather, but it isn't.
Search the internet and you'll find suppliers for
leather repair/paint supplies.
BTW, nice $50 buy!
