Metal And Burnt Dying Effects?

[Spinner]

My god that is gorgeous, exactly what I had in mind, thx guys its greatly appreciated, and I believe I heard someone mention there being metallic acrylics from createx as well so I will check it out. Oh and just out of curiosity did you handpaint the symbols or use a stencil and airbrush?

Citadel, GameWorks (GW) and P4 brand acrylic paints all offer a nice array of metallics and they adhere to leather extremely well. I use those three brands exclusively now along with Golden Fluid acrylics to fill in any holes in the color wheel. The main three I mentioned though are made for the board gaming industry (Warhammer 40k, etc.) so you'll find their lines revolve around armor, fantasy creatures and weaponry. They are bit more pricey but after having tested 15 different brands of readily accessible paints, those three have the best color ranges and longevity on leather I have found. Here's a sample of the Citadel color line:

First one I saw there was "Scab Red" and I busted up laughing.
