The holes needed punched clean (liner) and the handwriting on there wasn't actually on the belt.  Otherwise, the color was an exact match for the holster and mag pouch this gent got about 6 months ago (I really prefer they get all together, much easier to match).

STILL ... when yer makin' these here "fade" or "sunburst" thingies", PUHLEEZE don't ruin the aesthetics by painting down the sides of the belt loop keeper -- it looks a bit reeedikulus when you turn it 90° to the belt.

Keeper has an ufinished edge

[JLSleather]

AND it has red arrows on it (eww..)

Does that belt keeper have an edge groove on one edge, or is it just the lighting hiding the 2nd edge?

Right?

@JLSleatherDid you mean don't darken the keepers edge ?

There's nothing to guess ... there it is.

Well, not vertically.  The keeper is "painted" along with the belt, so the look is contiguous -- not a couple of stripes painted ACROSS, in ONE spot on the whole belt.

OH, and yes, theres a crease on each side of the keeper (though it would also work with NO creases on the keeper) but the other side isn't showing due to the angle.

Great tip! I have started to pay attention to details like that recently and the quality and aesthetics goes up! Love it!

Gotta admit that it took a minute to understand the "why" behind the unfinished edge, but with the sunburst...I get it.
Great lesson, thx.
