Grabbing a airbrush set will be your best bet.

Other then that I think I have scene some printed leather but it is upholstery or chap style leather.

Duracoat Peel & Spray templates are available at this site...

... obviously you wouldn't want to use Duracoat firearms finish on the leather, but I suppose you could try airbrushing the camo colors on over the template. I have never tried it and don't know if it would bleed under the template. Some of the patterns have big individual colored areas (ie, woodland), but a finer pattern like digital camo might work on a belt and sheath.

FWIW, thats my idea...

Thanks I was thinking of using maybe three or four colours of dye in no particular pattern

I could see how that work pretty good also. I think if you want the clean crisp lines then a temp-let and airbrush would work the best, but doing it by hand with a rough around the edges look and a few colors may work pretty good. Be sure to post how it comes out.

Intersting thought. I could see trying out a camo holster in "my spare time"

Brownells has some less expensive templates in several different patterns.
