Angelus Leather Paint

[rskbreaker]

Anyone have experience using this paint?

I'm thinking about trying it out to repaint some gloves.

I recall him saying he uses an airbrush. I'd rather use a brush. I'll shoot him an email to double check.

You probly won't get a smooth finish with a brush though.

so is that the colour youve picked for the shootos then rsk?

I just bought Meltonin Leather Spray Paint to try paint my white JC groin protector to match my headgear. If it works, it will be awesome, if not, it's just a groin protector.

will the paint peel off if it were to be applied on gloves?

Perhaps. From my initial search everyone said to use a brush. I'll do a little more research before I pick up the paints tomorrow.

Wow...You too! I'm working on a side project. Maybe tone will want these instead of those damn cursed shooto gloves. :icon_chee

Look forward to seeing how they compare.

From what I read, it's pretty much the industry standard for leather paint, and won't peel or crack when applied correctly.

I'll post pics if it succeeds.

Hmmmm.Maybe,I've used plenty of mitts in the past and can give you a review of those too.But please don't put the 'aiming spot' on mine if that's what you decide to do...ty

any special cure process?
no baking? or no flash process? I would assume that for a really good finish for the paint.

My paint should come in the mail on Friday. I got sparring + the UFC fight viewing at my gym Saturday so that's gone. I'll probably work on it Sunday + the next week. After the paint drys I'm going to leather condition it to protect it.

woundn't that not matter since your already putting a non porous layer(painting the glove)? pre condition the leather perhaps, but that might prevent the right cohesion to the leather.

They sell an acrylic finisher that I will be using.

Acrylic Finisher
Matte, Satin, Gloss, or High Gloss: The Acrylic Finisher is used on all smooth leathers. It is excellent for hand crafted work or high speed production. Just apply with a sponge, rag, sheep's wool, or spray gun, and let dry. No buffing is needed. This water-based product cleans up with soap and water. When dry, the Acrylic Finisher is water-resistant, and will not rub off, crack, or streak. It is flexible enough for shoes, belts, handbags, luggage, saddlery, and tack equipment. It can also be used on gourds or anything needing a clear finish.

Just messing with ya. You give me too much credit. It's mostly copying on my part, with my own little touch here and there.

I can do it without the aiming spot as well. Let's see how they look once they're done. If you're still interested, they are yours!
