I have made a few collars over the years and was inspired by the great work i have seen on here to use acrylic paints and some tooling to create a different collar for my terrier, (i think he runs faster with it on) im pleased with the final result. Cheers, Craig 1638618537_ernie1.thumb.jpg.234229719b0a709ff3b80af9014912a5.jpg489132494_ernie3.thumb.jpg.1175bfc922a17a56dd5a295457ee89ec.jpg

Hi Craig, Good looking paint job.

What can you tell me about the collar? Lined or unlined? Brand of paint? How many coats? Brush or spray?

Kindest regards

Brian

Sorry Brian for the long delay in replying, been busier than a bricklayer in Beirut. The leather is 2mm veg tanned ,16mm buckle and d's from mac lace leather supplies Capalaba Brisbane, 25 mm wide were the flames start. I used neopaque paint by jacquard  have found them to be very durable and keep colour well. And they are available at my local craft store. There is 3 coats of yellow sponged on 2 coats of the other colours both sponged and brushed, 3 coats of seal and shine. The collar is unlined.
