FranM Report post Posted May 2, 2016 What products and techniques do you recommend for a clean, professional looking white leather? I am using the Fiebing's White Acrylic Paint, and I just can't seem to get a consistent opaque finish without 27 coats of paint. This makes it plasticky, wrinkle-prone, and covers up the natural texture of the leather with so much build up. I'm working on clean, deglazed, natural leather (I've tried calf and goat if that matters) - flat pieces in sizes around 8" x 18" (210mm by 400ish) on average for bookbinding. I've also tried a tip I found to use a thin coat of resolene on the leather first then apply the paint... it all still ends up too transparent without building up excessive layers. I've tried applying with several different brushes, cotton puffs, and cloth. No airbrush unfortunately...is that my problem? Would wool daubers make a noticeable difference? Do I need to try Angelus or another brand? What other tricks could I missing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
