Check Book (been carried a couple of years) Paint Test

Recommended Posts

Okay,

I don't know about you guys, but I am always trying to save a few bucks. I have attached a picture of a checkbook I made for myself a couple of years ago.

I decided to try out the cheap acrylic paint available in the crafts area of my local walmart to see how it would hold up on leather. I have lugged this around for a few years and as far as I am concerned, the paint has help up rather well.

I wasn't happy with the highlighting effects, but figured I'd be re-painting it before too long. Now I'm stuck.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Happy New Year to ALL!

Looks great! It looks to be holding up quite well. I've been using BIC permanent markers and am happy with the results.

Good to know -- I use acrylics a lot. Sometimes it's the cheapy craft acrylics, but I've started buying the Liquitex Basics brand artist's acrylics. They mix more cleanly and are a little thicker, so more opaque and easier to push around on the surface.
