    Question Leather paint?

    Does anyone know where you can get leather or upholstery paint from in NZ ?

    Basically, its for a set of one piece leathers and i'm feeling a bit artistic at the moment and want to paint some logos etc!!

    Wouldn't acrylic paint do the job (provided the surface was properly prepared)?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Friend of mine used acrylic roof paint and moisturiser mix to paint her leathers.
    Seemed to work...

    Oil based paint worked for me. Cracked a little on larger areas, but still looked OK

    This is what most shoe repairers etc recommend: http://www.stepout.co.nz/products/pa...prooShoePaint/

    You should be able to get it from any decent shoe repair shop (or a similar product) and maybe bigger shoe shops. I guess it might be a bit of an issue if you want to cover bigger areas though (not sure how big a container of it you can get).

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Thanks, this looks like the sort of stuff I need but the colours aren't what i'm after, have to look elsewhere I think!?
