mlapaglia Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I was asked to make my normal IWB shield holster with a slight negative cant and in Pink. I tried several time on scrap to brush the pink acrylic on with no luck. Always to splotchy. I finally got a Preval sprayer and diluted the paint 50/50 with water. It took 2 light coats but it came out well.. I messed up and sent it out without taking a final set of pictures. This is the holster right before I re-beveled the edges and burnished them. I also took a modeling spoon the the bottom and fixed the presser foot marks. All in all the color came out better than I thought it would. Michael Edited December 22, 2013 by mlapaglia Quote
Members mikesmith648 Posted December 22, 2013 Members Report Posted December 22, 2013 The Angylus Rose alcohol dye will produce the same color. Looks nice but please turn in your man card at the front desk....LOL Quote
mlapaglia Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Posted December 22, 2013 I know, I was so ashamed. But It was for a good cause. The girl is a friend of my son's. I used Angelus hot pink. at least Im not afraid to use acrylic paints on leather. I was surprised how well it covered. I was concerned that the paint might peel when the presser foot hit it. Gave it a coat of Resolene and it seems like it should be fine. Quote
Members Dwight Posted December 22, 2013 Members Report Posted December 22, 2013 I made a pair of spur straps once, . . . same color, . . . so if they throw us out, Mike, . . . at least we got company. Good looking holster. May God bless, Dwight Quote
