Acrylic paint on upholstery leather- sealing it!

Recommended Posts

I have just completed a picture painted with fiebings acrylic dye for leather (leather paint) and need to seal it so it won’t flake or crack- is this possible or have I wasted a lot of time. You can see from the photo that the leather already has a finish on it. The leather is upholstery leather.

Try a couple of thinned coats of 'Mop and Glo' floor 'polish' which is a water thin acrylic varnish. Preferably sprayed on with an airbrush. 

I use it to seal the paint on my game boards

Angelus makes excellent sealers for exactly what you've done; painted leather work. You'll probably want the matte finish but it comes in Satin & High Gloss as well. Angelus Acrylic Sealers are available from Angelus Direct, My Wardrobe Supply & Amazon among others. Another choice would be Resolene from Fiebings.
