I haven't had time to do much more experimentation so am gonna follow this closely. Thanks to all for their two cents. Yes, you have to be very careful as you progress to the darker colors to make sure your overspray doesn't obscure the previous colors you have laid down. In order to control overspray I thin my dye down, turn my airbrush pressure way down and pay attention to the angle I am spraying at. Are you using an airbrush that lets you control the spray with the button on the gun? Quote

I have done a bit of painting with it also to further my control skills with the button. I'll have to try your suggestions on my next project Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

YinTx thank you yea the only thing i did wrong i think was to spray the yellow out to far so it turned all the red i put down afterward to orange but it is certainly livable and a learning experience. I may try some antique along the tooling that is a good idea.

My problem with super sheen is that it picks up alot of dye when i brush it on and leaves streaks would spraying it on be better? On this piece it removed and streaked the bison brown then sealed up the whole mess lol. I mixed a bit of sheen with some of the dye and it sprayed well and helped cover some of the problem but puddled easily. Also wondering would the leather being damp help the dye bind better before drying i still feel alot of the dye dries before it soaks into the leather.
