    Well, I'll have to dig this up again... I wanna give my leathers a bit of a spruce up but since they're mostly black I'm wondering how well the paint will work. Anyone painted any black surfaces?

    Also, I'm guessing one of those 29.5ml bottles one do much, hey?! I'm thinking at least one bottle to do the boots and one to do some accents on the leathers... correct? Any prep work required??

    29.5ml bottles do heaps!!! I bought two and I still have 1 leftover after doing the underarms on my leathers, hump on the back, gloves and half of my boots. Painting on black is a pain, but you can paint over in white first then your colour and it comes up quite well. Prep work is a good rub down with isopropyl alcohol or leather stripper, with maybe a light sand if they are a bit rough. The finish comes down to how much time you take.

    Noice... will get a bottle of white too then. I'm not gonna go crazy on the suit but there are some bits that need painting regardless... hopefully I'll have enough to do the boots too!

    I did my blue Sidi boots in white. Two coates and it came up a treat.

    well i have definitely tested out this paint and how wear resistant it is at dirt tracking on the weekend... No chips, no blisters, not missing bits of paint!!!!! (it got a right blasting too with the roost off the 450's and 500's out there). Also MEGA cudos to Waproo sprayon Gloss coats (its a high gloss leather sealant), the dirt just wiped straight off!!! Now im thinking i might do my leathers like Tony Elias' leathers in WSBK, adding some red and some more black to the white and fluro leathers i have at the moment.

    Yes, if you want it to take/last.
    Ideally it wants cleaning with a leather cleaner then prepped with amyl to make it a bit porous before drying thoroughly.
    Then lots of light coats of pigment/paint, dried with a heat gun/hairdryer to speed things up in between.

    I wasn't thinking about cleaning, just sniffing. Amyl nitrate.

    My mistake, Lawson is right. It's acetone - not Amyl.
