What Color And Brand Dye Matches This?

[BeltFanDan]

I am working on a project and looking to come as close to this color as possible. I would call it lavendar. It looks like an acrylic topical, not a dye.

Is anyone familiar with anyone who makes a color as close to this as possible?

Thanks;

Dan

Go to Michael's, A.C.Moore, any craft store. They have craft acrylic paints in a myriad of colors. You should be able to match the color, or get real close. Dilute it 60/40 water/paint, and you should be good to go.

I am doing a 5ft by 1ft wide piece of leather. Is that still a suitable solution?

Thanks

Absolutley. I painted a picture album baby blue (customer request, not my idea, lol) Finished it with Satin Shene, she says it's still holding up 4 years later.

Thanks for the advice, I'll probably build the color up, do it like 40/60, 50/50, 60/40 and a little higher, then finish it with satin sheen.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Turned out great.

Thanks again for the advice.
