The old leather effect wasn’t planned, but we just had to roll with it

I had noticed the patchy bizzle.
Odd that.

[Big J]

Fucking stunning.

[nikosg]

so was it meant to be a flat green lurky? :s

i thought that effect was planned lol

[Lurkzilla]

Sneaker gave me the choice of a flat green with another coat or the vintage effect.

[doku005]

Amazing! What more can I say?

[Poor Sod]

That's some good work mister! What technique did you use? Did you mask the white and spray painted the rest? Or how did you do it?

[super sk8]

The colour that Lurk wanted was forest green. I found this colour, but they only had it in transparent and not opaque. As a result, more layers were required to get a flat finish. However, certain areas were picking up more paint than the rest, due to dips and curves in the leather, and after a few coats I noticed that they had taken on this rather "vintage" look about then, like an old leather jacket. I thought it looked really cool (the pics are great but dont do them justice), so rather than going ahead and continuing until they were flat, I gave Mr Lurk the option.
I really like the way they turned out and may well do myself a pair, it's such a nice green.
Anyway, there ya go, questions answered
