Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted July 21, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted July 21, 2014 My wife has a small wallet she made that has a carved butterfly on one side that she painted with acrylic paints. It has survived several years of use in a hip pocket and two trips through the washing machine, and the paint is still intact. It's just needed some oiling after the washing to get it back to useable condition. Quote There are always possibilities....

Members NorrinRadd Posted July 21, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 21, 2014 Is acrylic paint the same normally across the board? the Acrylic I have is left over from doing little models, so it's not specific for leather, do you guys use any particular brand? Quote
Members DavidL Posted July 21, 2014 Members Report Posted July 21, 2014 Angelus paints is hands down the best acrylic paints with custom shoe painters using it as a standard. Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted July 22, 2014 Members Report Posted July 22, 2014 I had a wallet painted with Acrylic my grand dad gave me, and the leather on the corners wore out. The paint was still going strong. Quote
