My brother has a Norton Motorcycle which has a logo on the back of the seat.He asked me to paint the logo gold.Do you think there will be a problem with One Shot paint on leather?

I have used One-Shot on leather jackets and it holds up fine. For gold though I would use House of Color Urethane striping paint......

1Shot is the only way to go on leather, works excellent and will last a very long time airbrushed. As far as gold color, is that metallic? I don't know how long metallic lasts to begin with as I never used their metallics.

Ya know its always something that one uses that somehow changes everything back to square one.

Hi Randy
There are some specialty paints out there for leather also.

Angelus springs to mind. You can get it from Turtle Feathers

I've been meaning to give this stuff a shot for a while now but never seem to get around to it.

Let us know how make out regardless, I'm curious!

I've used createx on my leather jacket and my eagle has been on there for 6 yrs and still looks great. I cleared over it to help with longevity.

I'd use either createx or like Jim & Joey say 1 shot.

Best of luck,

I've gotten 1-Shot on leather jackets and it's still there and in fine shape.
