Thanks Cyberthrasher....you,ve been a great help...appreciate it.....cheers

ive just ordered some createx acrylic and a bottle of Liquitex Matte varnish.....hopefully it should be here in a few days....can I still use satin shene or would I be better off with the resolene as the seat i need to repair has been done in shene?

would you recommend using Createx airbrush acrylics ..I rarely use acrylic on seats but when I do, it would be good to know that Im using a problem free product with a good end result..the guitar strap looks great and i,d be happy with a finish like that..

Thanks cyberthrasher, you,re a champ.......,I,ll definitely give it a try.

gday cyberthrasher some designs I need a specific colour and the acrylics are easy available in those certain colours........I normally use satin or super shene ...never tried resolene before ...might give it a go and see if that helps..do you apply the resolene, let it set and then put the varnish over top?

gday lightingale I use Tamiya (small bottles from a hobbie shop).....Ive painted seats using this paint before and never had a problem..I do give it 4-5 coates of satin sheen to play it safe.......was thinking maybe the paint wasnt fully dry when I applied the shene....

g,day all, this is my first post so dont go too hard on me Ive previously made seats and used acrylic paint to get the colour Ive been after and never had a problem with it..I recently done up a seat for a friend and the poor bloke ended up with small patches of orange on his pants after his first ride.... I normally apply an oil based black all over the seat then I paint the required colours,let it dry and then apply satin shene.. am I doing this the wrong way? and am I using the right sort of paint? Im not intersted in using dyes because it doesnt give me the effect Im looking for... HELP!!!!! CHEERS
