ewayne53 Report post Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Ok rookie question. How do you get the two/multi tone finish on a project like in the attached picture. Without spending a lot of money. Thanks and God bless. Edited December 15, 2019 by ewayne53 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted December 15, 2019 paint base color. dip end of sponge or rag in darker second color, then dab on a cloth or scrap of leather to get "most" of the dye out of the sponge wipe the [lightly loaded] sponge down the edge. Best to start light and build up the color... you can always add more but you can't take it back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnv474 Report post Posted December 16, 2019 This effect can also be achieved relatively easily with an airbrush, spraying dye. One of those compressed air sprayers could likely also work. While a great airbrush setup is not cheap, a basic setup capable of the above effect can be inexpensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
