Rob_Mitchell Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 be just as easy and cheaper to retrim them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hammerite. get the stuff in a tin and paint it on job done or you could pva glue saw dust over the panel, be like flocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 If you must, then do it properly and make sure your prep work is very good. This site might help you, prices start around £35 http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Colourant_Kit.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 on a serious note, ring your local paint supplier as i know there is a really good leather paint on the market and they mix it in 2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 surely the paint will just crack when you as much as fart on it too hard. Retrim. PVA and sawdust idea is good. Or, why not just wallpaper them? You can have any colour then, even a pattern. I think i have a roll of Knight Rider boarding in the attic you could put round the middle.

evinX Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Im liking the idea of flocking but it needs to have a logo on it, so will be difficult to do, whats the pvs thing all about?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Flocking would be a much better idea imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 whats the pvs thing all about?? Have you never seen Art Attack? Give Neil Buchanan a call, I'm sure he'll guide you through the process. Altough you'll want to state PVA, rather than PVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 retrim them or flocking, both will look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I wouldnt use leather paint as it is designed to absorbed into the leather and you dont have leather door cards, you could try getting some hot air balloon paint, that will not come off ani very flexible.

Purity14 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Ok guys, so this is it. My Mainecoon Cat, Moonpig; he is ginger with white paws. I want him to be black with white paws. Any advice, I dont really want to sell him and get a new one tbh, I prefer to do things myself - if he could have a logo somewhere, that would also be great. EDIT: Ok, ive just had some PM's from people telling me that you arent supposed to paint cats, chill out people, ill do what I want its my cat, and its my opinion, im going to try a waterbased paint first. Thanks for the advice but im going to do it anyway. Edited September 27, 2010 by Purity14 Just recieved some PMz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
