Roysisbry,

To me, that was a very creative pattern you used. The paint was out of a tube or bottle?

To me That was a good job

Thanks, The blue is out of a bottle. I got it at Walmart. The white is from a paint pen. The belt was made to match my son's blue sets in his Champion Calf riding buckle and his hat band is the same color.

I love the belt and the colors. What color is the blue acrylic and I assume you applied with brush? How many coats? What type of sealer?

Once again....excellent job.

The blue is turquoise. Apple barrel brand 2614. I mix it with water till it really diluted I apply it with a sponge brush lightly applying really thin coats drying between coats. I put as ever how many coats it takes not to see in more natural color. The I seal it with acrylic resolene. I lightly coat it until I reach the amount of shine i want. Be sure with the paint to apply thin coats at a time if you you don't you will get cracking when the belt is flexed a lot. hope this helps.
