A good friend of mine gave myself a "Leather Jacket".
I wanted to paint My Logo in a (Dream Catcher)

I like working with the clothes I wear as they are the advertising of things I can do....

Most customers will in a niave way ask were you had this done?

This is the Medium Mixture I used..

First wiping with Achol.....
Next was mask with "Greber Mask."

Onward was spraying a (Createx Auto Base White)
Heat Gun drying.......
Now spraying all colour bases.....(Ghost Image)

I use a Faber Castell pencils to highlight the airbrushed Createx.

Coat or Dust the Image with Acrlic Finish.
Repeat Work.

Layer Effect!

There is SignGold Webbing in the Image but hard to photograph.

Great job! What did you use for paint 1-shot, createx? I did mine with createx and cleared over it and it's looked great for the past 3 yrs.

Very nice.

1 question, concern or curiosity I have though. You said you used signgold in it too. I'm just wondering will the signgold flex with the leather and still stay put? I would have never thought to use signgold on a leather jacket (but I do have a really nice Parka that could use my name on it) and you have now sparked my curiosity.

Stephen,

That is really your panel right! [Wink]

I want to get it.

I'll be interested to hear a long term test on what you are doing to the jacket (especially the sign gold webbing) so please keep us posted. I'd be afraid of the webbing being so thin that it might peel so lets hope the adhesive is as good as its supposed to be. Again Awesome job [Big Grin]

Ya!
I think that's My Panel..
Why do you ask the Question?
[Dunno]

Brian
Here is a stupid Edit.

Yes I believe that the Signgold will last because of its flex on the Leather Product.
And the Flex coating that is over the Graphics.
