BTW, great work man. Adam Hi Adam, Thanks for the kind words. I spray my Fiebings (alcohol based) dye with an airbrush. When dry, I wet the leather slightly and apply my Fiebings antiquing paste....wiping it off immediately. As for colors, I usually use Buckskin for my overall color and edge the seat with either Saddle Tan or Black. My antiquing paste color is called Sheridan. The next day I coat the seat as directed with Fiebings Leather Balm with Atom wax. Buff it with a towel when it is dry. That's it nothing complicated...no secrets. David Theobald Quote
