Bought a red “leather” storage cube ottoman. It is too red and I would like to tone it down a little. Paint? I’ve read all postings about painting upholstery, but none of them mention fake leather.

I think it would chip and peel off but I'm not an expert on painting vinyl. I'd just go to a local fabric shop and get new fabric. To recover an ottoman should be simple unless it has a lot of buttons.
If I was going to try and paint, I'd get the spray paint made for plastic.

You can get a good paint for faux leather at an auto parts store. It is made specifically for this in auto interiors.
