Pink Shield Iwb (I Had To It Was For A Cute Girl)

Recommended Posts

I was asked to make my normal IWB shield holster with a slight negative cant and in Pink.

I tried several time on scrap to brush the pink acrylic on with no luck. Always to splotchy. I finally got a Preval sprayer and diluted the paint 50/50 with water. It took 2 light coats but it came out well..

I messed up and sent it out without taking a final set of pictures. This is the holster right before I re-beveled the edges and burnished them. I also took a modeling spoon the the bottom and fixed the presser foot marks.

All in all the color came out better than I thought it would.

The Angylus Rose alcohol dye will produce the same color. Looks nice but please turn in your man card at the front desk....LOL

I know, I was so ashamed. But It was for a good cause. The girl is a friend of my son's. I used Angelus hot pink. at least Im not afraid to use acrylic paints on leather. I was surprised how well it covered. I was concerned that the paint might peel when the presser foot hit it. Gave it a coat of Resolene and it seems like it should be fine.

I made a pair of spur straps once, . . . same color, . . . so if they throw us out, Mike, . . . at least we got company.

Good looking holster.

May God bless,

Dwight
