Painting And Sealing/finishing

[drh023]

Hello everyone. I've been browsing the forums for sometime, and have found some good threads, and know there are more I haven't got to yet, but I need a little more details, if anyone can help.

I have some leather skidboots that I want to paint(I would like to use acrylis for price and more color choices) I also have some plain veg-tanned leather(unfinished) I have cut to make a dog collar and a bronc noseband...I guess I'm asking if someone could tell me how they go about painting and sealing their leather, and if you could make product recomendations for a sealer/finishing agent that will kerp the paint from chipping/peeling/cracking, as well as add durability.

Whew, that felt like a lot to ask.

Huge thanks to anyone who can help
