I want to get this effect on a project I have.

hopefully you're talking about the texturing that's on there. you can get something similar to taht by going to home depot or a similar place and getting a small panel of flourescent light diffuser. you can get a 2' x 2' sheet of it cheap. plus, there's several different ones to choose from. I use 'em and it works.

I am looking to dye me project and get that distressed look the belt has to make it look old and worn.

Drac: Thanks for the texture tip as well. I will try that on something else as well. Never thought about using one.

'S easy....Use eco-flo dyes, then buff with a damp cloth along the edges. Maybe wad up the damp cloth and roll it along the belt, letting the moisture 'ruin' the finish.

Then...seal the crap out of it so it doesn't do it anymore.
