black roper style wallet

[Dragons Pearl]

I have a person that wants a black roper style wallet with 'Raiders' on the front and I plan on making a shield outline, but not the little raider guy (so there won't be copyright probs. shouldn't be a prob with the word I would think. any lawyers in the house?) and color them both silver. I will be doing them inverse so as to protect the coloring but I was wondering if using silver enamel paint from testors (the kind one uses in making models) would work. And if it did, what sort of finish could I use to further protect it from ruboff.

And on the same line, it would be a good idea to dye the leather blue and then do a couple apps of black? Does the black rub off on the grain side as bad as the flesh side?

Thanks in advance!

Paul, the only time I've used Testers, is on the rough side or on pigskin suede. They worked okay on those, but on the veg tan, I never had good results.

There is a thread here on pearlized dyes and such, that may be of some help to you.
