Here is my first attempt to painting a Leather Jacket. The design is from his truck lettering I've done. The lettering is fashioned to look worn a bit, I was going to try to make the pin-up girl worn, but it just looked poorly done so I did her "normally".

Yes I'd like to know more as well, what brand/kind of paint did you use? Great Job by the way.

Thanks for the compliments.

That looks great!
The only thing that I notice is on the word "garage" where the pinup's boots go behind the lettering-the way the drop shadow is, it creates the look as if there is a black outline around the yellow and looks like there should be the same gap separating the boots and the text.

Kenny, that was the first thing I noticed after I unmasked it. I did this job for my brothers roomate and only charged him $100 for it. So I thought it would be better to leave it as is than to try and fix it and make a mess. If you look at it up close, it looks right but from a distance it's a bit "off". I guess it's another of those learning from mistakes kind of ddeals.
