immiketoo Report post Posted October 9, 2018 If you want gold, this is the only way to make it look good and have it be durable. It will do the trick though.https://shop.leatheredgepaint.com/en/leather-edge-metal-effect/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailrunner Report post Posted October 11, 2018 I use only dye now, but when I used to use paint I used Giardini and its really nice stuff. I used to cut the pattern 1/8" wide in all directions. Then I would glue, then cover the edges in masking tape on both sides of the leather. Then I would cut the excess 1/8" off. Then paint, sand, paint, sand, paint, sand. Then remove masking tape. Leaves a flawless edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
