    Question about Painting Leathers

    Hey guys,

    Anyone ever painted their leathers?? Im think of throwing some colour on my ultra used white leathers, boots and gloves...

    Anyone have any tips, tricks, products etc to use??

    Ive found the cheap american leather paint that gets great reviews online but i want to know if its really as easy as they say... just roll/brush it on etc etc

    Cheers,

    Carl-52

    Use waproo.

    You can get em at any key king mister mint type shop.

    I did the red on my Dainese boots to match.

    this is the only Australian supplier i could find for the Angelus leather paints (the ones everyone rave about online) They have heaps of colours and Neon colours (American equivalent of fluro). Plus they are rediculously cheap

    Hell yeah, thanks Carl!! I'm gonna order some fluoro, and go nuts on my old suit!!!

    I've seen mick leathers post a few pictures on color repair.
    I'd be asking will the dye effect the strength of the cotton used the hold it all together...If you want a gayish coloured suit just get one made...Collins leathers design custom fit $1100.0 shipped in any colours.

    Do a search for VGA auto paints on YouTube. They have an awesome spray on product for changing the colour of leather and a tutorial on the tube

    I'm keen. I don't have enough time to do it myself (or the patience, tbh). I'd love some more fluoro highlights!

    Can you get his people to call my people to organise it?

  27. #27
    that looks awesome, which paint did you go with in the end?

  28. #28
    Angelus its called

  29. #29
    Far out... That looks great! Do they come in fluoro green?

  30. #30
    lots of colours green too

  31. #31
    That's awesome! My boots now have that great "beige" look that only the right mix of oil, grime and time in the litter box can achieve... It might be time for a change.

  32. #32
    just pm carl he can tell you where he got it and how much it was etc

  33. #33
    ok guys!!! Uni work is finally finished!!!! WOOOOOOOO, Anyways, boots and gloves and been carlbotaged in the appropriate Fluro colour... They have pretty much any colour you can think of including turquiose!! lol < sisters fav colour....... Paint can be mixed too to create some funky colours. Anyway its cheap as chips and takes no time at all to do, couple of coats with a brush or roller and its done. I bought the paint from the link i posted previously... Tasmanian dude had it at my house 2 days after i ordered it Heres his facebook page so you can see some of the stuff he does. https://www.facebook.com/chasezdesignz

    Have you tried a lighter colour on a darker one? eg white on blue. Also hows it cope after a couple of wears. Any cracking ect.

  35. #35

    The suit on that last pic is exactly what I want but in fluoro green! Didnt think it would look so good over black... Impressed again!

  39. #39
    haha im doing some photoshop images for my suit right now and the fairing Marshy gave me... the paint is really flexible, ive scrunched up my gloves into a ball and didnt see any sign of wear at all. so far so good. tried fluro yellow over black without any prep or stripping, took a while but it looks ok now... I will try strip the black off and repaint it light coloured on a test piece soon.

    Thanks for the heads up on the paint! I'm in progress now
